Frequently asked questions

No, Revocon Tablet should not be crushed, cut, or chewed. It needs to be swallowed as a whole. But if you cannot swallow the whole tablet, tell your doctor who will probably prescribe you another medicine.
Revocon Tablet is not an antipsychotic. It belongs to the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor class of medicines. It works by changing the activity of some natural substances in the brain that affect muscles and nerves.
Revocon Tablet may increase the risk of depression or suicidal thoughts in patients with Huntington’s disease.
