Safety and efficacy not established
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity. Lactation. Hepatic impairment. Patients who are actively suicidal, or who have untreated or inadequately treated depression.
Mode of Action
Reversibly inhibits human vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2), resulting in decreased uptake of monoamines (eg, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine) into synaptic vesicles and depletion of monoamine stores from nerve terminals
This effect is similar to reserpine, but with less peripheral activity and is shorter-acting
Precaution
May exacerbate symptoms of parkinsonism. Caution to be exercised when driving or performing skilled tasks. Pregnancy. Increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington’s disease. Monitor for emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Caution in patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation.
