Medication can be a complicated and confusing issue for people with Huntington's disease.

They discuss:
What kinds of medication might someone with Huntington's disease be prescribed?

What is considered when deciding whether or not to prescribe certain medications?

What kinds of problems might someone with Huntington's disease experience around taking medication and what might be done to help?
