TARGETED ORAL THERAPY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS AND CHOREA. DISCREETLY DELIVERED ACROSS NIGERIA AND WORLDWIDE.
Xenazine contains Tetrabenazine, a medicine that works by reducing the amount of certain chemicals in the brain (like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) that control muscle movement. By decreasing the intensity of these chemical messengers, it helps quiet down and smooth out abnormal, uncontrollable body movements.
Huntington's Chorea: Reducing the involuntary, jerky, and twisting movements (chorea) associated with Huntington's disease.
Tardive Dyskinesia: Managing persistent involuntary muscle movements, typically affecting the face, tongue, or jaw, caused by long-term use of certain psychiatric medications.
Other Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders: Treating severe, debilitating involuntary movements when alternative options are ineffective.
✅ Adults diagnosed with Huntington's Disease experiencing moderate-to-severe involuntary movements that impact daily functionality.
✅ Patients suffering from Tardive Dyskinesia requiring a specialized neurological intervention to restore movement control.
❌ Not suitable for individuals with actively untreated or severe depression, suicidal thoughts, a history of liver impairment, or those currently taking MAO inhibitors (antidepressants).
Initial Dose: Usually 12.5mg (half a tablet) taken once or twice daily, typically starting in the morning.
Titration Phase: The dose is gradually adjusted by a neurologist, usually week by week, to find the lowest effective amount that controls movements.
Maximum Maintenance Dose: Typically ranges from 25mg to 50mg daily, divided into smaller doses. It rarely exceeds 100mg per day.
💡 Always take Xenazine exactly as prescribed by your neurologist. Never adjust or stop your dose suddenly without medical guidance.
Tetrabenazine (25mg): A vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor that limits dopamine storage in nerve terminals to reduce excessive motor signaling.
The most important side effects to monitor are drowsiness, fatigue, insomnia, restlessness (akathisia), or nausea. WARNING: Xenazine can increase the risk of depression or suicidal thoughts. If you or a family member notice significant mood swings, deep sadness, or behavioral changes, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Will it cure my movement disorder?
No. Xenazine treats and controls the symptoms of involuntary movements to improve your quality of life, but it does not cure the underlying neurological condition.
How quickly does it start working?
Some improvement in involuntary movements can be noticed within a few days, but it may take several weeks of careful dose adjustments to achieve the optimal benefit.
Can I take it with food?
Yes, Xenazine tablets can be taken with or without food. Taking it consistently the same way each day helps keep blood levels stable.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We deliver to the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, and across Africa in secure, temperature-monitored packaging to protect your specialized medication.
Is it available across Nigeria?
Yes. We distribute to all 36 states, including specialized express delivery options within Lagos and Abuja to ensure your treatment remains uninterrupted.
