Suggest Best Diet To Take When On Latuda

My daughter is on 80 mg of Latuda with dinner. She has the flu right now and doesn t want to eat. I got her to eat some jello and drink ginger ale with the Latuda. I have read that she should eat 350 calories for the medicine to work correctly is this right?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...you have not mentioned the age of your kid. A patient on Latuda needs to drink plenty of fluids, especially in hot weather and during exercise. It is easier to become dangerously overheated and dehydrated while on taking Latuda. But 350 calories is not a big deal for a normally eating kid. So do not worry.
