Final answer:

Low potency drugs antagonize receptors that are generally targeted by high potency drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Low potency drugs antagonize receptors that are generally targeted by high potency drugs. Low potency drugs have a weaker affinity and efficacy for the receptor compared to high potency drugs. This means that they are less effective at blocking or inhibiting the receptor's activity. For example, a low potency antagonist of the adrenergic receptor might have a weaker ability to block the receptor's activation by adrenaline compared to a high potency antagonist.
