Consumer:Ask your doctor before using tetrabenazine together with levodopa. Tetrabenazine can reduce the effects of levodopa in treating Parkinson's disease. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: Tetrabenazine can cause or exacerbate Parkinsonian symptoms and attenuate the pharmacologic effects of levodopa. The mechanism is reversible binding of human vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) by tetrabenazine, which leads to depletion of monoamine in the central nervous system including dopamine.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of tetrabenazine and levodopa should be avoided if possible. Tetrabenazine is not indicated for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinetic or choreiform movements, which should instead be treated by reducing the dosage of levodopa.
