Ajuben is prescribed for:
- Chorea linked to Huntington’s disease
- Tardive dyskinesia in adults
Ajuben (deutetrabenazine) acts as a reversible inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2).
It reduces the uptake and storage of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine in nerve terminals.
This depletion of monoamines helps control abnormal involuntary movements (chorea and dyskinesia).
