Minor Food Interaction

Food does not appear to significantly affect the absorption and oral bioavailability of lurasidone. In twelve adult volunteers (6 men and 6 women), administration of a single 10 mg oral dose of lorcaserin following a high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal) and high-calorie (approximately 800 to 1000 calories) meal resulted in less than 10% increases in lorcaserin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration in the fasted state. The time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) was delayed by approximately 1 hour in the fed state. Lorcaserin may be administered with or without food.
