What is Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A), Brand or Generic, Effects

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.

Botulinum toxin type A is used to treat cervical dystonia (severe spasms in the neck muscles), or severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Botulinum toxin type A is also used to treat certain eye muscle conditions caused by nerve disorders. This includes uncontrolled blinking or spasm of the eyelids, and a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction.

Botulinum toxin type A is also used to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Botulinum toxin type A may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.
