    New Zealand Data Sheet 1. PRODUCT NAME Motetis 25 mg tablet 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each Motetis 25 mg tablets contains 25 mg of tetrabenazine. Excipient(s) with known effect Contains lactose monohydrate. For the full list of excipients, see Section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Yellow, round, flat tablet with a score line on one side. The tablet can be divided into equal halves. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1. Therapeutic indications Movement disorders associated with organic central nervous system conditions, such as Huntington's chorea, hemiballismus and senile chorea. Tetrabenazine is also indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe tardive dyskinesia, which is disabling and/or socially embarrassing. The condition should be persistent despite withdrawal of antipsychotic therapy, or in cases where withdrawal of antipsychotic medication is not a realistic option; also, where the condition persists despite reduction in dosage of antipsychotic medication or switching to atypical antipsychotic medication. 4.2. Dose and method of administration Dose Proper dosing of tetrabenazine involves careful titration of therapy to determine an individualised dose for each patient. When first prescribed, tetrabenazine therapy should be titrated slowly over several weeks to allow the identification of a dose for chronic use that reduces chorea and is well tolerated. Movement disorders Dosage and administration are variable and only a guide is given. An initial starting dose of 25 mg three times a day is recommended. This can be increased by 25 mg a day every three (3) or four (4) days until 200 mg per day is being given or the limit of tolerance, as dictated by unwanted effects, is reached, whichever is the lower dose.

  • Tetrabenazine: the First Approved Drug for the Treatment of Chorea in US Patients with Huntington Disease
    Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article REVIEW 7HWUDEHQD]LQHWKHÀUVWDSSURYHGGUXJ for the treatment of chorea in US patients with Huntington disease Samuel Frank Abstract: Huntington disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited progressive neurological disease Boston University School of Medicine, characterized by chorea, an involuntary brief movement that tends to flow between body regions. Boston, Massachusetts, USA HD is typically diagnosed based on clinical findings in the setting of a family history and may be confirmed with genetic testing. Predictive testing is available to those at risk, but only experienced clinicians should perform the counseling and testing. Multiple areas of the brain degenerate mainly involving the neurotransmitters dopamine, glutamate, and G-aminobutyric acid. Although pharmacotherapies theoretically target these neurotransmitters, few well-conducted trials for symptomatic or neuroprotective interventions yielded positive results. Tetrabenazine (TBZ) is a dopamine-depleting agent that may be one of the more effective agents for reducing chorea, although it has a risk of potentially serious adverse effects. Some newer antipsychotic agents, such as olanzapine and aripiprazole, may have adequate efficacy with a more favorable adverse-effect profile than older antipsychotic agents for treating chorea and psychosis. This review will address the epidemiology and diagnosis of HD as background for understanding potential pharmacological treatment options. Because TBZ is the only US Food and Drug Administration-approved medication in the United States for HD, the focus of this review will be on its pharmacology, efficacy, safety, and practical uses. There are no current treatments to change the course of HD, but education and symptomatic therapies can be effective tools for clinicians to use with patients and families affected by HD.

  • Amnurite® Tablets
    Amnurite® Tablets Each Tablet Contains Amitriptyline – 10 / 25 mg Mecobalamin – 1500 mcg SR PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION – AMITRIPTYLINE Generic name: Amitriptyline Chemical name: 3-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene-5-ylidene)-N,N-dimethyl propan - 1 - amine Molecular mass: 277.403 g/mol Structural formula: Empirical formula – C20 H23 N Storage and Stability: Store at room temperature (15°to 30°C) MECOBALAMIN Generic name: Methylcobalamin Molecular mass: 1344.40 g/mol Structural formula: Empirical formula – C63H91CoN13O14P PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES – Amitriptyline Amitriptyline is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with peak plasma concentrations occurring between 2 and 12 hours after administration. Bioavailability of the drug is between 30 and 60% due to extensive first pass metabolism of the drug in the liver. Amitriptyline is demethylated in the liver to its primary active metabolite, nortriptyline. Amitriptyline is over 90% protein bound. Its elimination half-life varies from 10 to 50 hours, with an average of 15 hours. Within 24 hours, approximately 25 to 50% of a dose of amitriptyline is excreted in the urine as inactive metabolites; small amounts are excreted in the bile. Routine serum drug concentration monitoring is not warranted but may be useful to assess compliance or suspected toxicity. Recommended therapeutic trough levels, i.e., the sum of both amitriptyline and its metabolite nortriptyline, vary widely and range from 250 to 900 nmol/L (60 to 250 ng/mL). Ideally, the trough level should be taken 12 hours following administration of the last dose. TCAs are thought to work by inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the CNS, which potentiates the neurotransmitters.
