Latuda and Lurasidone at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Latuda, manufactured by Sunovion, is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada. Latuda is also available in Australia, manufactured and marketed by Servier.

Generic lurasidone is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Lurasidone:

Generic lurasidone contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Latuda and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it is designed to work in a similar way to Latuda. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name lurasidone, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic lurasidone, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/generic-drugs

Dosage:

Latuda and lurasidone are available as 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, and 120 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on the individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Latuda (lurasidone) is a prescription medication used to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents at least 13 years old. Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. While symptoms vary, common features include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking and speech, and reduced motivation. Latuda is also used to treat depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (bipolar depression) in adults and children/adolescents (10 to 17 years of age) as monotherapy or in combination with lithium or valproate. Bipolar I disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including episodes of both mania and depression.

Mechanism of Action:
Latuda (lurasidone) is an atypical antipsychotic. It affects the activity of certain natural substances in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, which play a role in mood, thinking, and behaviour.

Take Latuda exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the official Latuda Prescribing Information. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
