This drug has recently been approved to treat psychosis in Parkinson's disease. LBD is a similar pathology with similar psychosis issues. The drug has not yet been studied for use in LBD. Does your dad's doctor want him to try it? You might want to see this brief article on LBDA.org https://www.lbda.org/node/2700
There really isn't any good treatment for psychosis in LBD, and that may be why your dad's doctor is considering this (if he or she is considering it). Like most treatments for LBD, it is a risk/benefit analysis. How bad are your father's symptoms? Discuss this specifically with his doctor.
