What blood work needs to be done yearly with latuda (lurasidone)?

Latuda (lurasidone) Follow-up: While no spec tests are rec and gen safe: would check blood sugar before start and if sx's of ⬆️ BS or have Dr. mon if at risk. Can also raise a hormone called prolactin. Usually no sx's, but can cause breast tenderness, fullness or rarely low testosterone. I also recommend mon kidney function before and intermittent while on it. Tests should be guided by sx's. Discuss any new sx's with Dr.

Review drug mono: graph and speak to your doctor. Need baseline kidney function, white blood cell count, diabetes risk liver. At your age check lipids. Furthermore you may need more frequent monitoring than once per year. Talk to your doctor

Discuss with doctor: that is prescribing the Latuda (lurasidone), (lurasidone) as that doctor should know your individual and family history best. In general, your liver function and kidney function, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, white blood cell (WBC) count, blood pressure, and your risk for diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke should known prior to starting Latuda (lurasidone). These should be followed while taking Latuda (lurasidone).

Lipids and Blood Sug: in general, at yearly intervals the following should be checked: 1. body mass index (calculated by weight and height) 2. waist circumference 3. fasting lipids (cholesterol) 4. fasting glucose or hgbA1c (blood sugar) more regular checking when first starting up to the first year as seen in image.

Lurasidone: Recommend prolactin level,lipids, blood glucose, CBC, Renal function/ creatinine level, liver function test & possibly EKG. Monitor vital signs & weight. More tests may be indicated depending of medical conditions. I usually check blood sugar, prolactin, lipids regularly. More depending on situation. REF: http://www.sunovion.ca/monographs/latuda.pdf
