• Description

  Lurasidone hydrochloride is the hydrochloride form of Lurasidone. It is an atypical antipsychotic. It is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, depressive episode associated with bipolar I disorder in adults when used alone or in combination with lithium or valproate. Lurasidone is a benzothiazol derivative that is an antagonist and binds with high affinity to Dopamine-2, 5-HT2A receptor, and 5-H7 receptors. It is generally thought that antagonism of serotonin receptors can improve the negative symptoms of psychoses and reduce the extrapyramidal side effects associated with typical antipsychotics.   ;
