What is BOTOX®?
OTOX® 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.
