Medical Description

Nexluma capsules are an atypical antipsychotic medication indicated for treating depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression) in adults. It can be used alone (monotherapy) or in combination with lithium or valproate (adjunctive therapy). The active ingredient in Nexluma is lumateperone, which targets serotonin and dopamine pathways in the brain to help alleviate symptoms such as low mood and loss of interest. Nexluma is typically taken as one capsule once daily, with or without food, exactly as directed by your doctor. It is important not to change your dose or stop taking the medication on your own, as doing so abruptly can worsen your condition. If you need to reduce your dosage, your doctor will provide guidance on how to do it safely.

Uses

Nexluma capsules are indicated for treating depressive episodes related to bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression) in adults, as both monotherapy and as an addition to lithium or valproate.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity (allergy) to lumateperone or any component of this product.

Side effects

  • Nausea
  • Somnolence (sleepiness)
  • Dry mouth
  • Dizziness

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

This capsule is not considered safe to use in pregnant women unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks involved. Babies exposed to antipsychotic medicines during the third trimester of pregnancy may have abnormal muscle movements or withdrawal symptoms (such as agitation, unusual muscle tone, tremor, sleepiness, or breathing and feeding difficulty) after birth. Take your doctor's advice while taking Nexluma if pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Lumateperone passes into breast milk in small amounts. The benefits of breastfeeding should be weighed against any possible effects on the baby and your need for the medicine. Take your doctor's advice while taking Nexluma if lactating/breastfeeding.

Driving

Driving

Nexluma may cause sleepiness, dizziness or slowed thinking and movements. Patients should exercise due caution when driving a vehicle or operating machinery, and should avoid these activities until they are reasonably certain the medicine does not affect them.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Alcohol can add to the drowsiness and dizziness caused by Nexluma. Caution should be exercised if alcohol is taken in combination with Nexluma therapy; it is best to avoid or limit alcohol during treatment.

Directions for Use

Dosage

Overdose

Depending on the dose taken, overdose symptoms vary between individuals. No specific antidote for Nexluma capsule is known. In managing an overdose, supportive care is given, including close medical supervision and monitoring, and the possibility of more than one medicine being involved is considered. If an overdose is suspected, contact your doctor or the nearest hospital immediately.

Missed a Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose - in that case skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses together. If you are unsure, talk with your doctor about what you should do if you miss a dose.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements and herbal products you take, as some can interact with Nexluma capsule.
  • Avoid taking it with medicines that speed up its breakdown (strong CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin, carbamazepine or St. John's Wort), as they can make Nexluma less effective.
  • If you take medicines that slow its breakdown (CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as certain antifungals or antibiotics), your doctor may lower your dose.
  • Use caution with other medicines that cause drowsiness (CNS depressants), including sedatives and alcohol, because of additive sedative effects.
  • In older adults, combining Nexluma with certain antidepressants (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) may increase the risk of low blood sodium levels.

Interactions with food items

Nexluma capsule can be taken with or without food. Food does not significantly affect how it works.

Other general Interactions

Tell your doctor before taking Nexluma capsule if you have liver problems (a lower dose may be needed), diabetes or high blood sugar, high cholesterol, a history of seizures, low white blood cell counts, heart disease or low blood pressure, or if you are elderly. Nexluma is not approved for elderly people with dementia-related psychosis.
