Personalized dosing for TD1

With personalized dosing from AUSTEDO XR, your doctor can find the proper dose to help you reduce TD movements.


Your healthcare provider will start you at a low dose and gradually increase your dose over time. This approach allows your body to get used to the medication and can help with side effects as TD movements are reduced. 
This way, your doctor can find a dose that works for you. This process is called titration.1,2

Starting dose

Your doctor will start you on a low dose of AUSTEDO XR and will work with you to find your maintenance dose.

Maintenance dose

Once you reach a dose that provides effective TD movement reduction and is tolerated, that will become your maintenance dose. If you want to increase your dose, you and your doctor can discuss more dosing options.

Why AUSTEDO XR offers personalized dosing
