Both medicines are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat schizophrenia and bipolar depression.

The researchers found that all five antipsychotics were more effective than placebo (inactive medicine). Latuda ranked second, and Caplyta ranked third in terms of efficacy. Caplyta had higher rates of sleepiness as a side effect than Latuda. However, Caplyta was associated with lower rates of weight gain than placebo and the other antipsychotics.
