Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
Firstly, there is no correlation between pneumonia and Latuda. Your Pneumonia was just coincidental.
Your treating doctor would know the cheapest-yet equally effective- Brands available in the market. Or, he can switch over to an alternative-equally effective and cheaper- medicine for your problem.
You can approach Organizations doing social service or Church who can offer you financial aid.
