Medical Description
Luramax 80 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines known as 'antipsychotics.' It's used to treat bipolar depression and schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental illness in which a person experiences, hears, or sees things that aren't there, believes things that aren't true, and feels suspicious or confused in odd ways. Bipolar disorder is characterised by manic periods in which a person has strong mood swings (thinking variations) and changes in behaviour regularly.
Luramax 80 Tablet contains the antipsychotic medication 'lurasidone.' It works by suppressing a hormone in the brain called dopamine, which develops symptoms in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Luramax 80 Tablet also affects other neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, and its positive benefits could be linked to this. Luramax 80 Tablet helps manage brain activity and reduce schizophrenia and bipolar disease symptoms by blocking both.
Luramax 80 Tablets should be taken as directed by your doctor. Depending on your medical conditions, you should take the Luramax 80 Tablet for as long as your doctor has given it. Nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, weight gain, indigestion, dry mouth, akathisia (inability to stay still), stomach discomfort, anxiety, upper abdominal pain, restlessness, agitation (nervous excitement), insomnia (difficulty sleeping), and increased saliva production are some of the symptoms you may experience. Most of these Luramax 80 Tablet adverse effects do not require medical treatment and will disappear over time.
