Tardive Dyskinesia: Treatment Hierarchy

View through CrossRef
The treatment algorithm for managing tardive dyskinesia (TD) suggests first reducing the dose of the offending agent, followed by VMAT2 inhibitors, and then clonazepam or Ginkgo biloba. Deuterated tetrabenazine requires twice-daily dosing (6 mg BID → up to 48 mg/day), while valbenazine is taken once daily (40 mg → 80 mg). Although anticholinergics are commonly used in clinical practice, they lack strong evidence for treating tardive dyskinesia and cause significant side effects in the elderly.
