Treatment of tardive dyskinesia.

Tardive dyskinesia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder associated with prolonged use of antipsychotic agents or other antidopaminergic drugs (e.g., metoclopramide).

Prior to the availability of valbenazine, there was no standard treatment for tardive dyskinesia. Management generally included discontinuance or reducing the dosage of the precipitating drug when possible, switching from a conventional or first-generation antipsychotic to an atypical or second-generation antipsychotic, or switching to clozapine therapy.
