Important Safety Information and indications for LATUDA
INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS; AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS
Increased risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis. Medicines like LATUDA can raise the risk
of death in elderly people who have lost touch with reality (psychosis) due to confusion and memory loss (dementia).
LATUDA is not approved for the treatment of people with dementia-related psychosis.
Antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or behaviors in some children, teenagers, and young
adults within the rst few months of treatment and when the dose is changed. Depression and other serious mental
illnesses are the most important causes of suicidal thoughts and actions. Patients on antidepressants and their families
or caregivers should watch for new or worsening depression symptoms, especially sudden changes in mood,
behaviors, thoughts, or feelings. This is very important when an antidepressant medicine is started or when the
dose is changed. Report any change in these symptoms immediately to the doctor.
LATUDA may cause serious side eects, including:
Stroke (cerebrovascular problems) in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis that can lead to death.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a serious condition that can lead to death. Call your health care provider or go
to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you have some or all of the following signs and symptoms of NMS: high
fever, increased sweating, sti muscles, confusion, or changes in your breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
Uncontrolled body movements (tardive dyskinesia). LATUDA may cause movements that you cannot control in your face,
tongue, or other body parts. Tardive dyskinesia may not go away, even if you stop taking LATUDA. Tardive dyskinesia may
also start after you stop taking LATUDA
Problems with your metabolism such as:
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and diabetes: Increases in blood sugar can happen in some people who take
LATUDA. Extremely high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. If you have diabetes or risk factors for diabetes (such as
being overweight or a family history of diabetes), your health care provider should check your blood sugar before you start
and during treatment with LATUDA
Call your health care provider if you have any of these symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
while taking LATUDA: feel very thirsty, need to urinate more than usual, feel very hungry, feel weak or tired, feel
sick to your stomach, feel confused, or your breath smells fruity
Increased fat levels (cholesterol and triglycerides) in your blood
Weight gain. You and your health care provider should check your weight regularly during treatment with LATUDA
Increased prolactin levels in your blood (hyperprolactinemia). Your health care provider may do blood tests to check your
prolactin levels during treatment with LATUDA. Tell your health care provider if you have any of the following signs and symp-
toms of hyperprolactinemia:
Females: absence of your menstrual cycle or secretion of breast milk when you are not breastfeeding
Males: problems getting or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction) or enlargement of breasts (gynecomastia)
Low white blood cell count. Your health care provider may do blood tests during the rst few months of treatment with
LATUDA
Decreased blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension). You may feel lightheaded or faint when you rise too quickly from a
sitting or lying position
Falls. LATUDA may make you sleepy or dizzy, may cause a decrease in your blood pressure when changing position
(orthostatic hypotension), and can slow your thinking and motor skills, which may lead to falls that can cause fractures or
other injuries
Seizures (convulsions)
Problems controlling your body temperature so that you feel too warm. Do not become too hot or dehydrated during
treatment with LATUDA. Do not exercise too much. In hot weather, stay inside in a cool place if possible. Stay out of the sun.
Do not wear too much clothing or heavy clothing. Drink plenty of water
Mania or hypomania (manic episodes) in people with a history of bipolar disorder. Symptoms may include: greatly increased
energy, severe problems sleeping, racing thoughts, reckless behavior, unusually grand ideas, excessive happiness or
irritability, or talking more or faster than usual
Diculty swallowing

or inducers. Ask your health care provider if you are not sure if you are taking any of these medications.
Tell your health care provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins,
and herbal supplements. LATUDA and other medicines may aect each other, causing possible serious side eects. LATUDA may
aect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may aect how LATUDA works. Your health care provider can tell you if it
is safe to take LATUDA with your other medicines. Do not start or stop any other medicines during treatment with LATUDA without
talking to your health care provider rst.
