> Hi, is Tetrabenazine available in the USA?


It has been available under compassionate treatment protocols through Baylor College or your own doctor with lots of red tape, and their positive trials of Nitoman for Tardive Dyskinesia.


It is now being remarketed by Cambridge Laboratories worldwide as Xenazine and expects to achieve FDA approval by the end of the year. It is already marketed in several western Commonwealth countries and a few other European countries and while I can't tell you how to get your doctor to apply for a legal prescription from Canada, it is available legally there as Nitoman -- or it may already be called Xenazine now.

It is being marketed for Huntington's Chorea, but it has affects for other movement disorders.

It is a drug not without side effects -- while it has shown improvement in these movement disorders it does cause pseudoparkinsonism, how permanent that is I have no idea.
