What the FDA labels say
From the Clozapine (Clozaril) label · effective 2025-06-06
An increased risk cannot be excluded for CLOZARIL or other antipsychotics or other patient populations.
From the Lurasidone (Latuda) label · effective 2025-01-31
LATUDA and other antipsychotic drugs should be used cautiously in patients at risk for aspiration pneumonia.
Seizures As with other antipsychotic drugs, LATUDA should be used cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or with conditions that lower the seizure threshold, e.g., Alzheimer's dementia.
Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment LATUDA, like other antipsychotics, has the potential to impair judgment, thinking or motor skills.
Appropriate care is advised when prescribing LATUDA for patients who will be experiencing conditions that may contribute to an elevation in core body temperature, e.g., exercising strenuously, exposure to extreme heat, receiving concomitant medication with anticholinergic activity, or being subject to dehydration.
