About NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'S

  • Nexluma Capsule 10's is a prescription antipsychotic medicine marketed in India by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Each capsule contains lumateperone 42 mg.
  • Lumateperone is an atypical, second-generation antipsychotic used in adults for schizophrenia and for depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or bipolar II disorder, known as bipolar depression. It acts on several brain chemical systems at once and is thought to help correct the imbalances in these signals that underlie these conditions.
  • Nexluma should be used only as part of a treatment plan supervised by a doctor or psychiatrist, alongside regular follow-up and, where appropriate, counselling support.

Uses of NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'S

  • Schizophrenia in adults
  • Depressive episodes (bipolar depression) associated with bipolar I or bipolar II disorder in adults, either alone or together with lithium or valproate

How NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'S Works

  • The exact mechanism of lumateperone is not fully established. It is thought to act on several brain signalling systems together, mainly by blocking serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and modulating dopamine D2 receptor activity, and it also affects glutamate pathways involved in mood and thought regulation.
  • By adjusting these overlapping signals, lumateperone can help reduce hallucinations and disordered thinking in schizophrenia, and improve low mood and low energy in bipolar depression.

Side Effects of NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'SArrow

Drowsiness, sedation and dizziness are commonly reported, along with dry mouth, nausea and tiredness. Changes in weight, blood sugar or cholesterol have also been reported with this class of medicine. High fever with muscle stiffness and confusion, uncontrolled movements, or thoughts of self-harm need urgent medical attention. Not everyone experiences side effects, and many that occur are mild, but any effect that is troubling or persistent should be reported to the prescriber.

  • Drowsiness or sedation
  • Dizziness
  • Dry mouth
  • Nausea
  • Tiredness
  • Changes in weight, blood sugar or cholesterol

Caution

Do not stop Nexluma on your own, even if you feel well. Stopping abruptly can bring symptoms back. Your doctor will tell you how to reduce it safely if needed.

Dosage of NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'SArrow

  • The amount and duration of treatment depend on the condition being treated and the individual's response, and must be decided by the prescriber. The amount written on the current prescription should be followed, and the medicine should not be stopped or changed independently.
  • It may take some weeks for the full benefit to become apparent. Regular follow-up appointments help the prescriber judge whether the treatment is working and whether any adjustment is needed.

What if I miss my dose of NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'S?Arrow

  • If you miss a dose of NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

How to store NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'S?Arrow

  • Store the capsules in their original pack, out of the reach of children and pets. Keep them at room temperature. Do not use the capsules after the expiry date printed on the pack.

Benefits of NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'SArrow

  • Controlling the symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking, can help a person function better in daily life. In bipolar depression, it can help relieve low mood, loss of interest and low energy.
  • Taken once daily, it fits into a long-term mental health treatment plan alongside doctor follow-up and psychological support, and as an atypical antipsychotic it is generally associated with a lower risk of certain movement side effects than older antipsychotics, though individual response varies.

How to use NEXLUMA CAPSULE 10'SArrow

  • Swallow the capsule whole with water, with or without food.
  • Take it at a similar time each day, as advised by the prescriber, to help maintain a steady effect.
