Mechanism of action

Lurasidone's mechanism of action involves blocking the action of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, which helps to reduce symptoms of psychosis and improve mood. This is achieved through its antagonism of the serotonin 2A receptor and the dopamine D2 receptor. By modulating these receptors, lurasidone helps to restore balance to the brain's neurotransmitter systems.
