(+)-Tetrabenazine Inhibitor

(+)-Tetrabenazine is a reversible vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT-2) inhibitor, inhibits transport by VMAT2 with 10-fold greater potency than transport by VMAT1.

Small volumes of (+)-Tetrabenazine, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
