Which pharmacies can dispense Ingrezza?

Ingrezza, from Neurocrine Biosciences, is available through a special pharmacy network and special local pharmacies in the U.S. These include:

• AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy* (877-627-6337)
• Amber Specialty Pharmacy (888-370-1724)
• CVS Specialty (866-215-9855)
• Genoa Healthcare Pharmacies (855-657-6554, option 2)
• Orsini Specialty Pharmacy (800-279-1676)
• PantherRx Rare (844-221-3777)
• Select local and community pharmacies

* If a prescription is sent to a Walgreens Community-Based Specialty Pharmacy, contact the store directly.

These specialty pharmacies can dispense your Ingrezza and will mail it directly to you via overnight mail. You will receive a call from the specialty pharmacy to verify your information. A regular, local dispensing pharmacy does not normally provide Ingrezza.

Your doctor will send your prescription to the appropriate pharmacy. The specialty pharmacy will call you each time you need a prescription refill and confirm your information. In some cases, you can pick up your prescription if preferred.

Ingrezza (valbenazine) is an oral prescription medicine with two approved uses:

• to treat adults with movements in the face, tongue, or other body parts that cannot be controlled (a medical condition known as tardive dyskinesia)
• to treat adults with chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. Huntington's chorea is a condition in the brain where nerve cells break down and results in involuntary, random and continuous movement (muscle jerks or tics) while someone is awake. Movements often occur on the face, hands and feet.

Ingrezza works by blocking certain chemicals in your body that may be involved with involuntary muscle movement.
