Answer:

Antipsyhotic

Step-by-step explanation:

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder manifested by involuntary, repetitive body movements such as grimacing or smacking the lips. It might be the consequence of the use of some medications, for example neuroleptic medications, antipsychotics. So, the treatment of this disorder includes stopping the neuroleptic medication by changing it with another medication or using the medication to decrease the symptoms such as botulinum toxin.
