Lurasidone, sold under the trade name Latuda among others, is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. [2] In bipolar it may be used together with a mood stabilizer such as lithium or valproate. [2] It is taken by mouth. [2]
Common side effects include sleepiness, movement disorders, nausea, and diarrhea. [2] Serious side effects may include the potentially permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia, as well as neuroleptic malignant syndrome, an increased risk of suicide, angioedema, and high blood sugar levels. [2] In older people with psychosis as a result of dementia, it may increase the risk of dying. [2] Use during pregnancy is of unclear safety. [7] How it works is not clear but is believed to involve effects on dopamine and serotonin in the brain. [2]
Lurasidone was approved for medical use in the United States in 2010. [2] A month supply in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £91 as of 2019. [7] In the United States this amount is about US$1,350 as of 2020. [8] In 2019 generic versions were approved in the United States but will not be available until 2023. [9] [10] In 2017, it was the 274th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than one million prescriptions. [11] [12]
