Purified Neurotoxin Complex 

Distant Spread of Toxin Effect 
Postmarketing safety data from BOTOX
®
 and other approved botulinum toxins suggest that botulinum toxin effects 
may, in some cases, be observed beyond the site of local injection. The symptoms that are consistent with the 
mechanism of action of botulinum toxin have been reported hours to weeks after injection, and may include muscular 
weakness, ptosis, diplopia, blurred vision, facial weakness, swallowing and speech disorders, constipation, aspiration 
pneumonia, difficulty breathing and respiratory depression. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children 
treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in patients who have underlying conditions and comorbidities that 
would predispose them to these symptoms including adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, and are 
treated with high doses. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and death has been reported, 
although a definitive causal association to BOTOX
®
 has not been established.

BOTOX
® (BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A)
Purified Neurotoxin Complex
Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.
Postmarketing safety data from BOTOX
®
and other approved botulinum toxins suggest that botulinum toxin
effects
may, in some cases, be observed beyond the site of local injection.
The symptoms that are consistent with the
mechanism of action of botulinum toxin have been reported hours to
weeks after injection, and may include muscular
weakness, ptosis, diplopia, blurred vision, facial weakness,
swallowing and speech disorders, constipation, aspiration
pneumonia, difficulty breathing and respiratory depression. The risk
of symptoms is probably greatest in children
treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in patients who
have underlying conditions and comorbidities that
would predispose them to these symptoms including adults treated for
spasticity and other conditions, and are
treated with high doses. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be
life threatening and death has been reported,
although a definitive causal association to BOTOX
®
has not been established.
