Abstract
Lurasidone is a new atypical antipsychotic that has demonstrated positive effects on psychosis, mood, and cognition. This improved efficacy and safety profile for the treatment of schizophrenia. Its overall tolerability profile seems to be comparable to the other atypical antipsychotics. Perhaps its more potent blockade on the 5HT7 receptor will give it more of an advantage in treating the negative symptoms as well as improve cognitive and depressive symptoms associated with schizophrenia. Additionally, it does not appear to have any significant adverse impact on the metabolic profile, such as weight, glucose, or lipid metabolism. Lurasidone is also associated with good cardiovascular tolerability without widening of the QT interval. The use of this medication may be of particular interest in patients presenting with endocrine or cardiovascular abnormalities. The average price for a 30-day supply of lurasidone is $475.98.
