Botulinum Toxin Type B

Pronunciation: RYE-ma-BOT-ue-li-num-TOX-in-B
Generic Name: RimabotulinumtoxinB
Brand Name: Myobloc

The effects of Botulinum Toxin Type B may spread from the injection site to other areas of the body, causing symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after patients have received Botulinum Toxin Type B. Symptoms may include loss of strength; muscle weakness; double or blurred vision; drooping eyelids; hoarseness; loss of voice; loss of bladder control; or trouble speaking, breathing, or swallowing. The risk may be greater in children being treated for spasticity (muscle spasms), but these symptoms may also occur in adults. Contact your doctor right away if these symptoms occur.

Severe and sometimes fatal breathing or swallowing problems have been reported. The risk may be greater in patients who already have breathing or swallowing problems. Tell your doctor if you have or are at risk of developing breathing or swallowing problems.

Botulinum Toxin Type B is used for:

Reducing the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain associated with a certain neck problem (cervical dystonia). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Botulinum Toxin Type B is a neurotoxin. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, temporarily paralyzing the muscle.

Do NOT use Botulinum Toxin Type B if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Botulinum Toxin Type B or another botulinum toxin product


• you have an infection at the injection site

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
