Dysport TM

The effects of Dysport TM and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with the botulinum toxin effect. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life-threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms.

Dysport TM is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation. This product may contain trace amounts of cow's milk protein. Patients known to be allergic to cow's milk protein should not be treated with Dysport TM. Dysport TM is contraindicated for use in patients with infection at the proposed injection site(s).
