About XEOMIN

Understanding Botulinum Toxins

What are botulinum (baa·chuh·lai·num) toxins?

  • Botulinum toxin type A products, like FDA-approved XEOMIN, are injections that contain proteins to help a variety of conditions

What can happen during treatment?

  • Although it’s rare, sometimes the body may mistake treatment as harmful and start making what are known as neutralizing antibodies (NAbs)
    • These NAbs start to fight back against the proteins
  • It is important to note that some botulinum toxin type A products contain extra proteins that, when injected, may further increase the chance of the body making NAbs
    • As with all botulinum toxins, including XEOMIN, there is a possibility that NAb production can occur.

How do NAbs affect treatment?

  • NAbs may cause the product to not work as well over time
    • They may also make it so you or your child requires bigger doses of the treatment in order for it to be effective

In Clinical Studies, Patients Didn’t Develop Resistance to
XEOMIN Due to NAbs

How is XEOMIN Manufactured?

Botulinum toxin type A with unnecessary proteins

XTRACT Technology™ is a state-of-the-art manufacturing process that removes the unnecessary proteins

Leaving just the active therapeutic component

The direct impact of the non-therapeutic proteins on long term safety or efficacy has not been established. Information about the unique XEOMIN manufacturing process and the properties of incobotulinumtoxinA is not intended to imply superiority over other botulinum toxin type A products.
