What is
BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is
a formulation of botulinum toxin type A. It is delivered
form the bacterium Clostridum botulinum .
This bacterium produces a protein that blocks the release
of acetylcholine and relaxes the muscles. Type A is just
one of seven different types of botulinum toxin (A, B,
C¹, D, E, F, and G), and each has different properties
and actions. No two of these botulinum toxins are alike.
More than 100 years of research have expanded our knowledge
of botulinum toxin type A form the identification of the
bacterium Clostridium botulinum to the commercialization
of botulinum toxin type A as BOTOX®.
In the 1960s, the muscle-relaxing properties of botulinum
toxin type A were tapped for investigational use in realigning
crossed eyes. These early studies paved the way for treating
other condtions caused by overactive muscles with botulinum
toxin type A.
Today BOTOX® is
produced in controlled laboratory conditions and given
in extremely small therapeutic doses. It has helped over
900,000 patients worldwide with conditions caused by
overactive muscles.
