Description
What is Dysport?
Dysport contains clostridium botulinum type A toxin-haemagglutinin complex, a substance that temporarily blocks nerve signals to muscles. This action reduces muscle contractions, helping to alleviate conditions such as:
- Muscle spasms around the eyes, face, neck, arms, shoulders, and legs.
- Hyperhidrosis, characterised by excessive sweating of the armpits.
- Urinary incontinence due to bladder issues associated with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
Key properties
- Muscle relaxation – Temporarily reduces muscle contractions to alleviate spasms.
- Excessive sweating control – Helps manage hyperhidrosis by reducing sweat production.
- Urinary incontinence treatment – Assists in controlling bladder-related incontinence.
- Temporary effects – Provides relief for several months; repeat treatments are necessary for sustained benefits.
Side effects
Common side effects may include:
- Injection site reactions such as pain, swelling, or redness.
- Headache.
- Muscle weakness.
- Dry mouth.
- Flu-like symptoms.
