OSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Lurasidone hydrochloride film-coated tablets are intended for oral
administration only.
The efficacy of Lurasidone hydrochloride has been established at doses
of 40, 80, 120 and
160 mg/day. The recommended starting dose is 40 mg once daily. Initial
dose titration is not
required. Patients should be treated with the lowest effective dose
that provides optimal clinical
response and tolerability, which is expected to be 40 mg or 80 mg once
daily for most patients.
Dose increase should be based on physician judgement and observed
clinical response. In the six
week controlled trials, there was no suggestion of added benefit with
the 120 mg/day dose
compared to 40 and 80 mg/day. In the pooled analyses, added benefit
occurred at 160 mg/day
