What brand is lumateperone, and how does that affect price?

Are there cheaper alternatives if lumateperone is expensive?
If cost is a problem, common next steps patients and clinicians look for include:
- checking copay assistance (if available for the brand),

Where can I check the latest lumateperone price for my situation?
