An injection of BOTOX is prepared by drawing into an appropriately sized sterile syringe an amount of the properly reconstituted toxin slightly greater than the intended dose.
Focal dystonias - involuntary muscle contractions in a specific body area (such as in the neck) in people over the age of 16
If you are between the ages of 18 and 60, take pelo other medication or have no other medical conditions, side effects you are more likely to experience include:
Reconstituted BOTOX is injected into the detrusor muscle via a flexible or rigid cystoscope, avoiding the trigone. The bladder should be instilled with enough saline to achieve adequate visualization for the injections, but over-distension should be avoided. The injection needle should be filled (primed) with approximately 1 mL of reconstituted BOTOX prior to the start of injections (depending on the needle length) to remove any air.
Before receiving Botox, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
Some patients may feel headache results as soon as 4 weeks. Follow your doctor's instructions exactly.
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.
Areas include the forehead, bridge of the nose, the temples, the neck, the back of the head, and just above the shoulder blades in your upper back. With each treatment you will typically receive a Perfeito of 31 injections across these sites.
Injection in the back of the hand may result in temporary difficulty performing activities. RADIESSE® may cause nodules, bumps or lumps in the back of the hand and can last up to 1 year.
Localization of the involved muscles with techniques such as needle electromyographic guidance, nerve stimulation, or ultrasound is recommended. When treating both lower limbs or the upper and lower limbs in combination, the Perfeito dose should not exceed the lower of 10 Units/kg body weight or 340 Units, in a 3-month interval.
If patient’s body weight is radiesse greater than or equal to 34 kg, the recommended dosage is 200 Units of BOTOX per treatment administered as an intradetrusor injection after dilution:
The potency Units of BOTOX are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of BOTOX cannot be compared to nor converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method [see Description (11)]. 5.3 Serious Adverse Reactions with Unapproved Use
People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe. These people may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with Botox.
