Overview
Tetrabenazine 25mg Tablets (112 pack) are a medicine used to control certain involuntary movement disorders. Tetrabenazine works by reducing the amount of dopamine, a brain chemical involved in movement, which helps calm the excessive, uncontrolled movements seen in conditions such as Huntington's chorea and some other movement disorders (for example, tardive dyskinesia and hemiballismus). By steadying these movements, it can improve comfort and daily function. A specialist-prescribed medicine helping affected people manage difficult involuntary movements. Confirm the active on the pack.
