University of South Australia researchers developed a coating for anti-psychotic drugs that mitigates weight gain and boosts serotonin levels.

Researchers at the University of South Australia developed a new coating for anti-psychotic drugs, like Lurasidone, which mitigates weight gain as a side effect and boosts serotonin levels. The coatings, made from inulin and bioactive medium chain triglycerides, improve drug absorption and target gut microbiome, potentially enhancing treatment outcomes for mental health medications.
