Botulinum Toxin Type A 50 Units

Botulinum Toxin Type A 50 Units 

Botox is used in adults to treat cervical dystonia (severespasms in the neck muscles), or muscle stiffness in the elbows, wrists,fingers, ankles, or toes. Botox is also used to treat severe underarm sweating(hyperhidrosis).

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) cause the flaccid paralysis of botulism by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from motorneurons. The first vaccine used to protect against botulinum neurotoxin was a chemically detoxified extract from Clostridium botulinum.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at theneuromuscular junction and thus causes flaccid paralysis. Infection with the bacterium causes the disease botulism.
