Caplyta active ingredients

Lumateperone is classed as an atypical antipsychotic. The mechanism of action of lumateperone for the treatment of schizophrenia is not fully understood.

In clinical trials, after one week of treatment with Caplyta, patients started to show improved Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scores. PANSS is a scale used to measure the severity of schizophrenia symptoms. Symptoms continue to improve the longer you take the drug.
