How Does Botulinum Toxin Type A Work in the Body?

Botulinum toxin type A inhibits the muscle from contracting. A botulinum toxin type A injection is injected into the muscle that needs relaxing, inhibiting the action of a chemical called acetylcholine released by the nerve.

This soothes bladder contractions that produce a sudden need to urinate. In the head and neck, it may help to decrease hyperactivity of muscles associated with dystonia and some migraine headaches.

Uses of Boto Genie 100 IU Injection

Boto Genie 100 IU uses cover four health issues.

Overactive bladder

Overactive bladder is a sudden strong urge to urinate. Injecting into the bladder wall may be beneficial if other treatment methods haven’t been effective.

Cervical dystonia

Cervical dystonia is a disorder in which muscles of the neck contract in an uncoordinated way, resulting in pain and a head that is twisted or tilted.

Muscle spasm

Muscle spasm refers to muscles that are tight and overactive, and difficult to control. The muscles may be injected with a specialist to decrease stiffness and pain.

Migraine prevention

Injections around the head and neck can help decrease the frequency of migraine attacks for those who suffer from frequent, long-lasting attacks.

Benefits of Boto Genie 100 IU Injection

The Boto Genie injection benefits are different with each individual based on the condition being treated. Possible benefits include:

• Fewer bladder urgency episodes
• Less neck pain and stiffness
• Reduced muscle tightness
• Fewer migraine days
• Treatment every few months, not daily

Boto Genie 100 IU Injection Dosage and Administration
