CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
NeuroBloc is indicated for the treatment of cervical dystonia
(torticollis) in adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
NeuroBloc should only be administered by a physician who is familiar
with and experience in the
treatment of cervical dystonia and in the use of botulinum toxins.
Restricted to hospital use only.
Posology
The initial dose is 10,000 U and should be divided between the two to
four most affected muscles.
Data from clinical studies suggest that efficacy is dose dependent,
but these trials, because they were
not powered for a comparison, do not show a significant difference
between 5000 U and 10,000 U.
Therefore an initial dose of 5000 U may also be considered, but a dose
of 10,000 U may increase the
likelihood of clinical benefit.
Injections should be repeated as required to maintain good function
and minimise pain. In long term
clinical studies, the average dosing frequency was approximately every
12 weeks, however this may
vary between subjects, and a proportion of patients maintained a
significant improvement relative to
baseline for 16 weeks or longer. The dosing frequency should therefore
be adapted based on the
clinical assessment/response of an individual patient.
For patients with reduced muscle mass the dose should be adjusted
according to individual patient
need.
