Drug-induced parkinsonism across the study period, as measured by the Simpson-Angus Scale3
In the 3 placebo-controlled clinical studies in patients with TD, the incidence of parkinson-like adverse events was 3% of patients treated with INGREZZA and <1% of patients treated with placebo. The mean change in Simpson-Angus Scale score from baseline at 6 weeks across studies was1,3,f:
a |
Mean change in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was −0.4 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −0.8 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and ±0.0 for placebo. |
b |
Mean change in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was −0.4 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −1.4 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and +0.5 for placebo. |
c |
Mean change in Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was −0.5 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −0.4 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and −0.1 for placebo. |
d |
Mean change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was ±0.0 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −1.5 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and +1.2 for placebo. |
e |
Incidence of suicidal ideation or behavior on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) was 5.6% for INGREZZA 40 mg, 2.5% for INGREZZA 80 mg, and 5.3% for placebo. |
f |
40 mg data includes doses of 40 mg and 50 mg; 80 mg data includes doses of 75 mg and 80 mg. |

INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) capsules are indicated in adults for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease.
Depression and Suicidality in Patients with Huntington’s Disease: VMAT2 inhibitors, including INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE, can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington’s disease. Balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal ideation, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, and families of the risk of depression and suicidal ideation and behavior and instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation, which are increased in frequency in patients with Huntington’s disease.
INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to valbenazine or any components of INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including cases of angioedema involving the larynx, glottis, lips, and eyelids, have been reported in patients after taking the first or subsequent doses of INGREZZA. Angioedema associated with laryngeal edema can be fatal. If any of these reactions occur, discontinue INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE.
INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE can cause somnolence and sedation. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness such as operating a motor vehicle or operating hazardous machinery until they know how they will be affected by INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE.
INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE may prolong the QT interval, although the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant at concentrations expected with recommended dosing. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome or with arrhythmias associated with a prolonged QT interval. For patients at increased risk of a prolonged QT interval, assess the QT interval before increasing the dosage.
A potentially fatal symptom complex referred to as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) has been reported in association with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission, including INGREZZA. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE, intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring, and treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems. If treatment with INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE is needed after recovery from NMS, patients should be monitored for signs of recurrence.
INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE may cause parkinsonism. Parkinsonism has also been observed with other VMAT2 inhibitors. Reduce the dose or discontinue INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE treatment in patients who develop clinically significant parkinson-like signs or symptoms.
The most common adverse reaction in patients with tardive dyskinesia (≥5% and twice the rate of placebo) is somnolence.
The most common adverse reactions in patients with chorea associated with Huntington’s disease (≥5% and twice the rate of placebo) are somnolence/lethargy/sedation, urticaria, rash, and insomnia.
