What are Generics? A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, how it is taken, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is the generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (e.g. different shape or color), as trademark laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name drug and sell it at substantial discounts.

Nitoman Description

Nitoman is a prescription only medicine designed to treat hyperkinetic movement disorders, such as Huntington’s chorea, Senile chorea, Hemiballismus, Tardive Dyskinesia and Tourette’s Syndrome. Nitoman contains the active ingredient called Tetrabenazine.

Nitoman Directions

This medicine should taken as only as directed by your doctor. If you wish to start a new medication whilst taking Nitoman or Tetrabenazine, please consult your doctor or pharmacist first. They will assess whether a drug interaction might occur.
For adults, it is recommended that you are initially commenced on the lowest dose of 12.5mg, 2 to 3 times a day. This can be increased by 12.5mg per day every 3 to 5 days, until the maximum tolerated and effective dose is reached for the individual. As individual tolerance levels vary, this may require some increasing/decreasing of the dosage until the ideal level has been reached. In most cases, the maximum tolerated dose will be 25mg three times a day. Some publications recommend that the maximum is 200mg, however it is very rare for patients to require this high of a dose.
If there is no improvement at the maximal tolerated dose in 7 days, it is unlikely that tetrabenazine will be of benefit to the patient, either by increasing the dose or extending the duration of treatment. If you have any concerns about this or are unsure of your ideal dosage, please discuss this with your doctor.
In regards to geriatric and debilitated patients, there are no adequately controlled studies about tetrabenazine and this particular demographic. However, clinical experience suggests that a reduced initial and maintenance dose should be used. Parkinsonian-like side effects are relatively common in these patients and may depend on the dosage.
In regards to children and adolescents, there are no adequately controlled studies about tetrabenazine and this particular demographic. Limited clinical experience suggests that treatment should be started at half the adult dose, and titrated slowly and carefully according to the individual response and tolerance.

Nitoman Cautions

Tetrabenazine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. It is advised that you avoid driving or other potentially hazardous activities until you know how you react to this medicine. Tetrabenazine may also cause postural hypotension, a condition where one’s blood pressure falls dramatically upon standing. If you are prone to falls or are unsteady on your feet, please take caution and avoid changing your posture quickly.
For women who wish to become pregnant, please discuss the risks and benefits of tetrabenazine with your doctor. There is no information about the safety of this drug in regards to human or animal pregnancies. In addition, there is limited evidence that shows tetrabenazine is excreted in breast milk; therefore it is recommended that breast feeding is avoided whilst taking this medication.
