Tetrabenazine

Tetrabenazine is a medication primarily used to treat movement disorders, such as chorea associated with Huntington's disease. It works by decreasing the amount of a neurotransmitter called dopamine in the brain, which helps reduce involuntary movements. While it can be effective in managing symptoms, tetrabenazine may have side effects, such as drowsiness, depression, and anxiety. It is important for patients to work closely with their doctors to monitor their conditions and adjust dosages as needed. Overall, it plays a significant role in improving quality of life for those with certain neurological conditions.
