What is Tetrabenazine?

Tetrabenazine is a generic prescription drug used to reduce involuntary movements in patients with Huntington's disease, a progressive condition in which nerves in the brain degenerate and the person loses the ability to control their thoughts, emotions, or movements. The involuntary movements associated with Huntington's are sporadic and irregular movements that are not repetitive, but often seem to be purposeful.

Tetrabenazine works by reducing a chemical, called dopamine, that transmits signals between nerves. This reduces the ability of the brain to send signals to muscles that cause involuntary movements.

After slowly increasing the dose as directed by the doctor, Tetrabenazine is generally taken as a tablet two or three times per day. The dose will be based on reducing involuntary movements as much as possible using a dose that can be tolerated.
