There are different types of Dysport (Dysport (Botulinum Toxin)) products (toxin A and B) with different uses (eye problems, muscle spasms, migraines, cosmetic).  Different brands of Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) deliver different amounts of medication.  Your doctor will choose the correct product for you.

Botulinum toxin is used to treat certain eye disorders such as crossed eyes (strabismus) and uncontrolled blinking (blepharospasm), to treat muscle spasms or movement disorders (such as cervical dystonia, torticollis), and to reduce the cosmetic appearance of wrinkles.  It is also used to prevent headaches in people with very frequent migraines.  Botulinum toxin relaxes muscle by blocking the release of a chemical called acetylcholine.

It is also used to treat severe underarm sweating.  Botulinum toxin works by blocking the chemicals that turn on the sweat glands.

Botulinum toxin is not a cure, and your symptoms will gradually return as the medication wears off.

Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) is given by injection by an experienced health care professional.  It is injected into the affected muscles (intramuscularly) when treating eye disorders, muscle spasms and wrinkles.  When used to prevent migraines, it is injected into the muscles of the head and neck.  It is injected into the skin (intradermally) for the treatment of excessive sweating.

Your dose, the number of injections, the site of injections, and how often you receive the medication will be determined by your condition and your response to therapy.  Most people start to see an effect within a few days to 2 weeks, and the effect usually lasts 3 to 6 months.

Because Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) is given at the site of your condition, most of the side effects occur close to where the medication is injected.  Redness, bruising, infection, and pain at the injection site may occur.

Dizziness, mild difficulty swallowing, respiratory infections such as cold or flu, pain, nausea, headache, and muscle weakness may occur when Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) is used to relax muscles.  Double vision, drooping or swollen eyelid, eye irritation, dry eyes, tearing, reduced blinking, and increased sensitivity to light may also occur.

If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.  You may require protective eye drops/ointments, an eye patch, or other treatment.

When Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) is used to prevent migraines, side effects such as headache, neck pain, and drooping eyelid may occur.

When Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) is used for excessive sweating, side effects such as non-underarm sweating, respiratory infections such as cold or flu, headache, fever, neck or back pain, and anxiety may occur.

If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.  Many people using Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) do not have serious side effects.

A very serious allergic reaction to Dysport (Botulinum Toxin) is unlikely, but get medical help right away if it occurs.  Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), rash, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
