Latuda is an atypical antipsychotic that is used to treat schizophrenia in people age 13 years and older, depression from bipolar disorder in people age 10 years and older, or as add-on therapy to lithium (Lithobid) or divalproex (Depakote) for depression from bipolar disorder in adults.

Latuda is an atypical antipsychotic. It’s not completely known how the medication works. But it’s thought to work by balancing out the levels of certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) in your brain to help control your thoughts, mood, and behaviors.

Latuda will be dosed based on your condition, whether you have kidney or liver problems, and whether you’re taking a medication that interacts with Latuda. The maximum dose ranges from 80 mg to 160 mg once daily depending on your age and condition.

Latuda is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects.
