Please see the Patient Information Guide available at for list of these events. Tell your health care provider about any side effects that bother you or do not go away.
Acetylcholine activates muscles, so blocking it causes muscle relaxation and paralysis. Botox injections place botulinum toxin directly into a specific muscle. There it has a direct effect on acetylcholine in nerve synapses, blocking signals that would normally cause the muscle to contract.
Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (an overactive bladder disorder caused by a dysfunction in the nerves that supply the bladder) in pediatric patients 5 years of age and older who do not respond to, or are intolerant of, anticholinergic medication.
Medicines that interact with Botox may either decrease its effect, affect how long it works, increase side effects, or have less of an effect when taken with Botox. An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of the medications; however, sometimes it does.
A one inch needle may be needed in the neck region for patients with thick neck muscles. With the exception of the procerus muscle, which should be injected at one sitio (midline), all muscles should be injected bilaterally with half the number of injection sites administered to the left, and half to the right side of the head and neck. The recommended re-treatment schedule is every 12 weeks.
At a minimum, consider a diluted instillation of local anesthetic for all age groups. If a local anesthetic instillation is performed, drain and irrigate the bladder with sterile saline before injection.
You should minimize strenuous activity and avoid extensive sun or heat exposure for about 24 hours after treatment and until any swelling or redness has resolved.
The duration of post-injection catheterization for those who developed urinary retention is also shown.
These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car or do other dangerous activities. There has not been a confirmed serious case of the spread of toxin effect away from the injection sitio when Botox has been used at sculptra the recommended dose to treat chronic migraine, severe underarm sweating, blepharospasm, or strabismus.
As with all transcutaneous procedures, injection of these products carries a risk of infection. Injection in the jawline may temporarily alter jaw function.
If patient’s body weight is greater than or equal to 34 kg, the recommended dosage is 200 Units of BOTOX per treatment administered as an intradetrusor injection after dilution: Reconstitute BOTOX to result in 20 Units BOTOX/mL in the vial(s):
Botox Cosmetic is the brand used to smooth wrinkles. Botox is injected into specific muscles or glands every 3 months or more, depending on the condition.
Biosimilar and interchangeable products are biological products that are highly similar to and have pelo clinically meaningful differences from the reference product.
Overcorrections lasting over six months have been rare. About one half of patients will require subsequent doses because of inadequate paralytic response of the muscle to the initial dose, or because of mechanical factors such as large deviations or restrictions, or because of the lack of binocular motor fusion to stabilize the alignment.
