Orap (pimozide) works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain. Orap is used in people with Tourette's syndrome. This medicine suppresses the physical (motor) and vocal (phonic) symptoms of tics when these symptoms interfere with daily life function. Orap is not for use in treating motor tics that are not caused by Tourette's syndrome.
