Switching from tetrabenazine1,2
When switching to AUSTEDO from tetrabenazine, you can start AUSTEDO the day after you stop tetrabenazine. This means you can continue treating your HD chorea without missing a dose.
In a clinical study, 37 people with HD chorea switched overnight from tetrabenazine to AUSTEDO. People in the study received AUSTEDO at approximately half the dose of tetrabenazine.
