Xeomin

Xeomin, also called botulinum toxin type A, is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.

Xeomin injection is used in adults to treat:

• muscle spasms and stiffness of the arms (upper limb spasticity);
• cervical dystonia (severe spasms in the neck muscles), or muscle stiffness in the elbows, wrists, fingers, ankles, or toes;
• certain eye muscle conditions caused by nerve disorders (including uncontrolled blinking or spasm of the eyelids, and a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction); or
• to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles (sometimes called “frown lines”) between the eyebrows.
