Tetrabenazine 25mg Tablets (containing Tetrabenazine) are a high-performance, reversible vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders, specifically chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. By specifically and reversibly inhibiting the uptake of monoamines (such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) into synaptic vesicles, Tetrabenazine effectively reduces the amount of dopamine available at the nerve endings. It is an essential therapy for managing involuntary "jerking" movements and improving motor coordination, providing a critical pharmacological intervention for neurological stability.
Using Tetrabenazine as part of a medically supervised neurological care plan offers several targeted therapeutic benefits:
Effectively Reduces Chorea: Specifically targets the overactive dopamine pathways in the brain to dampen involuntary, dance-like movements.
Rapid Improvement in Motor Control: Clinically proven to provide visible reduction in movement severity within the first few weeks of titration.
Highly Selective Mechanism: Unlike some antipsychotics, it works primarily by depleting dopamine stores rather than just blocking receptors, offering a different clinical pathway for treatment.
Reversible and Titratable: The effects are reversible, allowing your neurologist to carefully adjust the dose to find the optimal balance between symptom control and side effects.
Proven Performance for Huntington’s Disease: Recognized globally as a gold-standard symptomatic treatment for the physical manifestations of neurodegenerative chorea.
Tetrabenazine 25mg Tablets are manufactured by Lundbeck, a world-renowned, research-driven pharmaceutical leader based in Denmark that specializes in brain diseases. Produced in state-of-the-art, GMP-compliant facilities that adhere to the strictest international safety and quality standards, Lundbeck ensures that every tablet of Tetrabenazine (Xenazine) meets rigorous criteria for purity, precise dosing, and clinical efficacy. At Sanlive Pharmacy, we source Tetrabenazine directly from verified Lundbeck distributors to ensure our patients in Nigeria receive authentic, premium-grade medication for their neurological health.
Tetrabenazine utilizes a targeted biochemical mechanism for neurological stabilization:
Tetrabenazine (25mg): A potent VMAT2 inhibitor that prevents the storage of dopamine in vesicles, leading to its degradation and reduced release into the synapse.
Precision Metabolic Matrix: Formulated to be metabolized into active alpha and beta-dihydrotetrabenazine, which carry out the primary therapeutic action in the brain.
To achieve optimal results with Tetrabenazine 25mg Tablets, follow these guidelines:
Suggested Dosage: Treatment must be started at a low dose (e.g., 12.5mg once daily) and slowly increased by your neurologist over several weeks. Most patients find relief at doses between 25mg and 50mg daily.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Timing: Can be taken with or without food.
Consistency: Take your medication at the same time every day. Consistent dosing is vital for maintaining steady brain chemistry.
Special Screening: Before starting, your doctor may perform a blood test to see if you are a "poor metabolizer" of the enzyme CYP2D6, which affects how much medicine stays in your system.
Important Safety Note: This medication must only be used under the direct supervision of a neurologist. Warning: Tetrabenazine can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts. Monitor your mood closely and report any sudden sadness or anxiety to your doctor immediately. If you experience severe muscle stiffness, high fever, or confusion (signs of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome), seek emergency medical attention. Avoid alcohol and other sedating medications while on treatment. Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
