Ingrezza uses
Ingrezza is primarily used for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. The active ingredient, valbenazine tosylate, contributes to its effectiveness in treating this condition. Furthermore, methods have been established for administering Valbenazine while avoiding concomitant use of a strong cyp3a4 inducer. This not only improves the effectiveness of the drug but also reduces the risk of potential side effects. In addition to tardive dyskinesia, the drug can be used for treating Huntington's chorea.
