New Publication Alert!

We’re excited to announce our latest article: “Balancing Mental Health and Breastfeeding: Evaluating the Transfer of Lurasidone into Human Milk” published in the The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry by Levi S. Campbell, PharmD; Palika Datta, PhD; Kaytlin Krutsch, PhD, PharmD, MBA.

🔍 Why it matters:
• First-ever quantitative data on how the antipsychotic Lurasidone transfers into breast milk.
• Relative infant dose (RID) found to be only ~1.16% at the standard 40 mg/day maternal dose — well below the 10 % safety threshold.
• No adverse effects reported in exposed infants in the study sample.
