Description
Xeomin is a medication consisting of botulinum toxin type A and is indicated for the treatment of blepharospasm (eyelid spasms), spasmodic torticollis (twisted neck), and upper limb spasticity. As an inhibitor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, this neurotoxin is able to temporarily relax the muscles involved in neuromuscular disorders by preventing the muscle fibers from receiving nerve transmission. This injectable is clinically proven to be a safe, effective and durable treatment.
Xeomin is suitable to treat patients with:
- Increased muscle stiffness in the arm of adults with upper limb spasticity;
- Abnormal head position and neck pain in adults with spasmodic torticollis;
- Abnormal spasms of the eyelids (blepharospasm) in adults.
Do not treat the patient with Xeomin if they have a history of hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or to any of the other components of this product. Do not inject into infected skin. Do not use this medication in nursing or pregnant women. The safety profile of this product has not yet been established in patients below 18 years of age
