Symptomatic treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (e.g., hay fever). Intranasal azelastine is at least as effective as oral antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine) or intranasal corticosteroids. May provide improvement of ocular manifestations, possibly secondary to systemic absorption of the drug.

Symptomatic treatment of nonallergic (vasomotor) rhinitis.

Symptomatic relief of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

• Generic Name: valbenazine
• Dosage Forms: capsule
• Other Brand Names: Ingrezza

Ingrezza (valbenazine) blocks certain chemicals in the body that may be involved with involuntary muscle movement.

Ingrezza is used to treat symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, a nervous system disorder. Tardive dyskinesia causes repetitive uncontrolled muscle movements, usually in the face (chewing, lip smacking, frowning, tongue movement, blinking or eye movement).

Ingrezza is not a permanent cure for this condition.
