Lurasidone is a drug used to treat schizophrenia. It belongs to a class of drugs called second-generation antipsychotics, which help regulate dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain. Lurasidone is used to control symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations, delusions, and mood problems. In Hong Kong, doctors may recommend Lurasidone as part of the treatment for schizophrenia. Patients should use the medicine correctly according to the doctor's instructions and should not adjust the dosage or stop using it on their own. Some side effects may occur when using Lurasidone, including drowsiness, dizziness, and weight gain. If serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. While taking Lurasidone, patients should receive regular follow-up examinations from their doctor. If you have any questions or discomfort, patients should consult their doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: Please take the medication after meals, once a day. Do not take with high-fat foods to ensure effectiveness. Avoid drinking alcohol or engaging in activities that require attention while taking it.
