Lurasidone is a serotonin and dopamine receptor antagonist, one of the most recently available antipsychotics in the Czech Republic. It has a minimal effect on physical and metabolic parameters while a significant effectiveness on the symptoms of psychosis is maintained. This is evidenced by the case report below, which describes a good response to lurasidone in a patient with paranoid schizophrenia and resistance to treatment, including electroconvulsive therapy.

Keywords: schizophrenia, drug resistance, lurasidone hydrochloride.
