Inform your doctor if you develop any unusual changes in mood or behavior, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts while taking this medicine.

How Ticstop Tablet works
Ticstop Tablet works by reducing extra dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical that controls movement, and too much of it can cause involuntary, jerky movements seen in Huntington’s disease. Balancing dopamine helps calm these movements, making it easier to control body motions and perform daily activities.
