How it is used
Latuda can only be obtained with a prescription. In patients aged under 18 years, it should be prescribed by an expert on mental illness in children. Latuda is available as tablets to take by mouth. The recommended starting dose is 37 mg once a day, taken with food at around the same time each day. The doctor will then adjust the dose according to how well the condition is being controlled, up to a maximum dose of 148 mg once a day in adults and 74 mg once a day in younger patients.
How it works
The active substance in Latuda, lurasidone, works at several different receptors (targets) for neurotransmitters on nerve cells in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate with each other. Lurasidone acts mainly by blocking the receptors for the neurotransmitters dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine (also called serotonin) and noradrenaline.
