Latuda 20 mg (Lurasidone) Tablets
How It Works
Latuda contains the active ingredient lurasidone, which belongs to a class of medications known as atypical antipsychotics. It works by modulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin. Lurasidone acts as an antagonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, which helps to regulate the transmission of signals in the brain. By balancing the activity of these neurotransmitters, Latuda helps to improve symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar depression.
