About the offer

Nowadays, lots of different drugs are used in Huntington’s disease management. For example, antipsychotics help deal with chorea (involuntary movement disorder associated with Huntington’s disease), hallucinations, delusion, and violent behavior but can’t help with depression, tremors, and many other symptoms. So, the number and dosage of medications might vary significantly in different cases. Before starting further treatment, evaluating the patient’s current condition and confirming the diagnosis is always necessary. So, medical practitioners perform a full-scale evaluation process that includes medical examinations, lab tests, medical image procedures (MRI), and reviewing previous medical records. Also, neurologists need to get information about the severity and progression of Huntington’s disease’s symptoms to prescribe the most suitable medications. Tetrabenazine and Deuterabenazine are believed to be among the most effective drugs that specifically help deal with chorea symptoms and have been approved by the FDA for treating Huntington’s disease since 2008. Also, in some cases, using anti-inflammatory drugs might be helpful to slow down the symptoms’ progression, as well as help in the management of possible pain. However, the duration of each treatment course also might vary a lot.
