Drug Details
Deutetrabenazine, marketed under the name Austedo, is designed to reduce involuntary movements associated with Huntington's disease (chorea) and tardive dyskinesia, which involve uncontrolled movements of the face, tongue, or other body parts. By alleviating these movements, the medication helps patients participate more fully in everyday activities. Deutetrabenazine functions as a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor, which is believed to lower the levels of certain brain chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, thus potentially improving movement control. Austedo is available in both regular and long-acting forms, with dosing typically once or twice daily depending on the version. Common side effects include sleepiness, diarrhea, and dry mouth. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or adjusting any medication.
