In this case, our data shows the Canadian price coming in lower — but that isn't true for every drug, so it's worth checking each medication individually rather than assuming.

Pimozide is available as a generic medication. Its brand-name counterpart is called ORAP. The generic is manufactured by companies such as Par Pharmaceutical, while the brand-name ORAP is produced by Teva Pharmaceuticals.

Pimozide is a generic antipsychotic medication prescribed to help control the motor and vocal tics seen in Tourette syndrome. Its use is considered when tics cause major disruption to a patient's life and other therapies have proven ineffective. The medication works by influencing brain chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells. By modulating this activity, it can help calm overactive brain circuits thought to contribute to the involuntary movements and sounds characteristic of the disorder.

Common side effects of pimozide include drowsiness, sedation, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, dizziness, drooling, muscle stiffness, tremors, restlessness, weight gain, upset stomach, constipation, and sore throat. More serious concerns include severe muscle rigidity and the risk of tardive dyskinesia—a syndrome of persistent, involuntary movements—with long-term use. Mental and mood changes, such as anxiety, restlessness, depression, or nervousness, may also occur. Although rare, allergic reactions (e.g., hives, facial swelling, trouble breathing) require immediate discontinuation of the drug and medical attention. This is not an exhaustive list; discuss any side effect concerns with your prescribing physician.
