Benazin Tablet 25 mg contains Tetrabenazine, a central nervous system (CNS) agent primarily used to manage hyperkinetic movement disorders, most notably chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. Tetrabenazine functions by selectively depleting dopamine in the brain, a neurotransmitter responsible for abnormal involuntary movements. By reducing dopamine levels in certain neural pathways, Benazin helps control excessive motor activity, tics, and involuntary movements, thereby improving daily functioning and quality of life.

The 25 mg dose is suitable for patients requiring higher therapeutic effects while still allowing for careful dose titration. It provides a balance between efficacy and tolerability, making it an important option in the long-term management of movement disorders.
