What are the key aspects to understand about BOTOX® for Chronic Migraine treatment?

• BOTOX® is a preventive treatment. It prevents headaches and migraine attacks before they even start.

• If you do not undergo two treatments spaced 12 weeks apart, you may not achieve the complete benefits of BOTOX® treatment by week 24.

• The most prevalent side effect observed was neck pain, reported by 9% of BOTOX® patients compared to 3% for those receiving the placebo.

• BOTOX® is administered using small needles, targeting shallow muscles just beneath the skin. The procedure typically takes around 10 minutes and is performed every 3 months, right in your doctor's office.

What are the anticipated outcomes of BOTOX® treatment for spasticity?

• Individuals experiencing muscle stiffness from spasticity typically notice improvement within 4 to 6 weeks following the injection.

• Your doctor may modify your treatment plan according to your response and progress.

• You can undergo re-treatment by your specialist once the effects of the previous injection have diminished, but it's necessary to wait at least 3 months before your next treatment.

How does BOTOX® work to treat Cervical Dystonia?

• BOTOX® works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions.

• Cervical Dystonia is a neurological condition marked by involuntary muscle spasms in the neck, resulting in abnormal head and neck positions and movements.

• BOTOX® is injected directly into the affected muscles, where it blocks the signals that trigger muscle contractions. This action can lead to a reduction in muscle spasms and associated symptoms.

What is the experience of receiving BOTOX® treatment for severe underarm sweating?

• Your healthcare provider will administer 10 to 15 small injections into the affected underarm area using a very fine needle. Significant reduction in underarm sweating is typically noticeable within 4 weeks after your initial treatment.

• You may experience drier underarms for up to 201 days or approximately 6.7 months.

• Remember, BOTOX® is not a permanent solution for severe underarm sweating. Your symptoms will gradually return, signaling when it may be appropriate for another treatment.

How does BOTOX® help with Blepharospasm?

• BOTOX® therapy for treating Blepharospasm works by blocking signals from the nerves that instruct the muscles controlling the affected areas to contract. This reduces eye muscle spasms.

• When undergoing BOTOX® therapy for Blepharospasm, you may start noticing improvements in your symptoms within the initial 2 days, with maximum results typically achieved about 1 to 2 weeks after the injection.

• With BOTOX®, there's no need for daily treatment. Your specialist administers BOTOX® by injecting it directly into your affected muscles. You can receive treatment again after the effects of the previous injection have faded, but this shouldn't be done sooner than every 3 months.
