WHAT NUCEIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NUCEIVA contains the active substance botulinum toxin type A.
It prevents muscles from contracting, leading to a temporary
paralysis. It works by blocking the nerve
impulses to the muscles in which it has been injected.
NUCEIVA is used for the temporary improvement in the appearance of
vertical lines between the
eyebrows. It is used in adults less than 65 years of age in whom those
facial lines have an important
psychological impact.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
NUCEIVA should only be administered by physicians with appropriate

Posology
The recommended injection per muscle site is 4 U/0.1 mL. Five

injections in each corrugator muscle (inferior medial and superior
medial aspect) and 1 injection in the
procerus muscle for a total dose of 20 Units.
Botulinum toxin units are not interchangeable from one product to
another. Doses recommended are
different from other botulinum toxin preparations.
In the absence of adverse reactions during the initial treatment, an
additional course of treatment can
be performed subject to a minimum interval of 3 months between the
initial and repeat treatment.
In the event of treatment failure (no visible improvement of glabellar
lines at maximum frown) one
month after the first course of treatment, the following approaches
may be considered:
•

technique, incorrect muscles
injected, and f
