About Tardive Dyskinesia

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder that results in involuntary, repetitive body movements.¹ This may include grimacing, sticking out the tongue or smacking of the lips.¹ Additionally, there may be rapid jerking movements or slow writhing movements.¹ In about 20 percent of people, decreased functioning results.² The condition affects up to 500,000 people in the United States and can be caused by certain medications used to treat mental health conditions or gastrointestinal conditions.^3,4

About AUSTEDO^® (deutetrabenazine)

AUSTEDO^® is a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in adults and for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Important Safety Information

AUSTEDO^® can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington’s disease. Anyone considering the use of AUSTEDO^® must balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. AUSTEDO^® is contraindicated in patients with Huntington’s disease who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression.

AUSTEDO^® is also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; and patients taking tetrabenazine (Xenazine^®) or valbenazine (Ingrezza^®).

AUSTEDO^® may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity in patients with Huntington’s disease. Tetrabenazine (a closely related VMAT2 inhibitor) causes an increase in the corrected QT (QTc) interval. A clinically relevant QT prolongation may occur in some patients treated with AUSTEDO^® who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers or are co-administered a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor or other drugs that are known to prolong QTc. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. AUSTEDO^® may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and restlessness. AUSTEDO^® may cause parkinsonism in patients with Huntington’s disease. Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO^®.

The most common adverse reactions (4% of AUSTEDO^®-treated patients and greater than placebo) in controlled clinical studies of patients with tardive dyskinesia were nasopharyngitis and insomnia. The most common adverse reactions (>8% of AUSTEDO^®-treated patients and greater than placebo) in a controlled clinical study of patients with chorea associated with Huntington’s disease were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue.
