Treats Tardive Dyskinesia

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder characterized by uncontrollable, repetitive body movements. This may include blinking, grimacing, lip smacking, or sticking out the tongue. There is strong scientific evidence that hydergine can help treat this debilitating medical condition:
1. In patients with tardive dyskinesia, hydergine administration reduced repetitive body movements. [108]
2. In patients with abnormal involuntary movements of tardive dyskinesia, hydergine treatment at a dose of 3 to 4 milligrams a day for six weeks significantly reduced symptoms. [109]
3. In elderly chronic psychiatric patients, hydergine is associated with a reduction of dyskinetic scores compared to placebo. [110]
4. In patients with signs of tardive dyskinesia secondary to antipsychotic medication, hydergine administration at a dose of 4.5 mg once daily for 6 weeks reduced dyskinetic scores. [111]
