BOTULAX is a medication that is categorized as a peripheral muscle relaxant. It is composed of purified botulinum toxin type A, in combination with haemagglutinin, and sodium chloride as an excipient. Its mechanism of action is based on the ability of botulinum toxin type A to block the transmission of nerve impulses. When administered intramuscularly, the toxin interferes with the synthesis of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter responsible for neuromuscular conduction. This results in a temporary paralysis of the facial muscles, which helps to relax them and smooth out wrinkles. The active ingredient of BOTULAX is Clostridium botulinum toxin type A, specifically the CBFC26 strain. Each dose contains 100 units (U) of this toxin. Its mode of action involves blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles. This prevents the injected muscle from contracting, which reduces wrinkles. BOTULAX is primarily used for treating forehead wrinkles, crow's feet (wrinkles around the eyes), and lion's wrinkle, as well as horizontal and vertical neck wrinkles, lip contour correction, and bruxism. BOTULAX is highly effective, and its power fluctuation is tightly controlled between 91-115 units. The injection of BOTULAX provides a precise and even effect, ensuring high patient satisfaction with the preparation.
