Predictive factors for tolerability of tetrabenazine in patients with hyperkinetic movement disorders

•Data of hyperkinetic patients were analyzed to identify predictive factors for tolerability of tetrabenazine.•Patients with dystonia were 4.1 times more likely to discontinue tetrabenazine.•Tetrabenazine-induced parkinsonism was 5.0 times more likely in tardive syndromes compared to chorea.
