Description
About Luda 80mg
Luda 80mg Tablet contains Lurasidone, a second-generation (atypical) antipsychotic prescribed for schizophrenia and bipolar depression in adults. The 80mg strength is the standard adult maintenance dose for schizophrenia, typically used after initial tolerability is established at 40mg under psychiatrist guidance. Lurasidone blocks dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT7 receptors, reducing psychotic symptoms and stabilising mood, with a favourable metabolic profile compared with older antipsychotics.
