Ingrezza and Pentosan polysulfate sodium

• Generic Name: valbenazine
• Dosage Forms: capsule

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.

• Generic Name: pentosan polysulfate sodium
• Dosage Forms: n.a.

Pentosan polysulfate sodium works like an anticoagulant (blood thinner) that prevents the formation of blood clots. However, it is used to treat bladder pain and discomfort caused by cystitis (bladder inflammation or irritation).

Pentosan polysulfate sodium may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
