Benazin Tablet 12.5 mg contains Tetrabenazine, a central nervous system agent used primarily to manage movement disorders such as chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and other hyperkinetic conditions. Tetrabenazine works by depleting excessive dopamine in the brain, which helps to reduce involuntary movements, tics, and muscle spasms.

Benazin Tablet is especially useful for patients experiencing disruptive or distressing involuntary movements, improving their ability to perform daily activities and enhancing overall quality of life. The 12.5 mg dose allows careful titration to achieve optimal therapeutic effect while minimizing side effects.
