From the Valbenazine (INGREZZA) label · effective 2026-04-17
In patients taking a strong CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 inhibitor, or who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE concentrations may be higher and QT prolongation clinically significant [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] .
For patients taking a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, reduce the dose of INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE to 40 mg once daily [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 , 2.5 )].
Use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE Recommended dosage is 40 mg once daily.
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Clinical Implication: Concomitant use of INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increased the exposure (C max and AUC) to valbenazine and its active metabolite compared with the use of INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE alone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
Prevention or Management: Reduce INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE dose when INGREZZA or INGREZZA SPRINKLE is coadministered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )].
