Latuda (Lurasidone) is a prescription medication that is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders such as schizophrenia and depression associated with bipolar disorder. Lurasidone belongs to the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. Latuda will help you think clearly, feel less nervous and live a normal life. It may also help to decrease hallucinations. This medication may also help improve your mood, sleep, appetite and energy level. We also offer other antipsychotics medications such as Abilify, Seroquel, and Lamical.
In a study (Effectiveness of lurasidone in schizophrenia or schizoaffective patients switched from other antipsychotics: a 6-month, open-label, extension study - PMC (nih.gov) – Dec 16, 2013) - Leslie Citrome, found that “Lurasidone was generally well-tolerated with sustained improvement in efficacy measures observed in outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who had switched to lurasidone from a broad range of antipsychotic agents.”
In another clinical trial (Lurasidone for the treatment of schizophrenia in adult and paediatric population – T Guilera, JPC Pascual, M del Carmen Blasco, Feb 3, 2023), found that “clinical guidelines recommend lurasidone as the first-line treatment in the acute and long-term management of schizophrenia in both adult and paediatric populations.”
