Summary
Atypical antipsychotics can disturb glucose metabolism, though lurasidone has a relatively low metabolic liability. Any hyperglycemic effect could partly counter exenatide's glycemic benefit.
What this interaction means in plain words
Exenatide and Lurasidone have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Exenatide belongs to Endocrine; Lurasidone belongs to Central Nervous System.
Why it happens
Antipsychotic-related insulin resistance and altered glucose regulation may oppose exenatide's glucose-lowering effect.
What to do
Monitor fasting glucose and HbA1c after starting or changing lurasidone. Adjust antidiabetic therapy if control deteriorates.
