Question 1 of 5
Which of the following medication needs to be taken with 350 calories of food?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: lurasidone (Latuda). Lurasidone is a medication that needs to be taken with food to enhance its absorption. Taking lurasidone with a meal containing at least 350 calories increases its bioavailability. This is due to the drug's absorption being pH-dependent, meaning it is better absorbed in the presence of food.
Therefore, taking lurasidone with a meal ensures better efficacy and consistent blood levels.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Clozapine (Clozaril) does not require specific food intake for optimal absorption.
B: Aripiprazole (Abilify) can be taken with or without food.
D: Haloperidol (Haldol) does not have specific food requirements for administration.
