Botox

Botulinum toxin, better known as botox (the brand name of the first drug of its kind to be marketed), is actually the toxin that produces botulism. However, its ability to produce muscle paralysis is used for medical purposes in the treatment of certain neurological diseases and in aesthetic medicine for expression lines, which is why it is best known. Its numerous medical applications include:

- Botox
- Strabismus
- Dystonias
- Blepharospasm
- Vertebral pain
- Migraine
- Hyperhidrosis
- Urinary incontinence in paraplegics.
