Committee Recommendations (1)

The PCN recommends lurasidone as a treatment option in the management of schizophrenia once metabolic syndrome has been identified. Lurasidone will be initiated by a specialist from Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, in line with the lurasidone prescribing pathway (see Documentation). Transfer of prescribing responsibility (to primary care) may be considered following 3 months initial treatment by the specialist.
