Incobotulinumtoxina
Generic Name: incobotulinumtoxina
Brand Names:
Xeomin
11 DESCRIPTION The active ingredient of XEOMIN is botulinum toxin type A produced from fermentation of Hall strain Clostridium botulinum serotype A. The botulinum toxin complex is purified from the culture supernatant and then the active ingredient is separated from the proteins (hemagglutinins and non-hemagglutinins) through a series of steps yielding the active neurotoxin with molecular weight of 150 kDa, without accessory proteins.

Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XEOMIN is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for the treatment or improvement of: Chronic sialorrhea in patients 2 years of age and older ( 1.1 ) Upper limb spasticity in adults ( 1.2 ) Upper limb spasticity in pediatric patients 2 to 17 years of age, excluding spasticity caused by cerebral palsy ( 1.2 ) Cervical dystonia in adults ( 1.3 ) Blepharospasm in adults ( 1.4 ) the appearance of upper facial lines in adults: moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity ( 1.5 ) moderate to severe horizontal forehead lines associated with frontalis muscle activity ( 1.5 ) moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi muscle activity ( 1.5 ) 1.1 Chronic Sia...
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Chronic Sialorrhea : Chronic Sialorrhea in Adults: the recommended total dose is 100 Units per treatment session consisting of 30 Units per parotid gland and 20 Units per submandibular gland, no sooner than every 16 weeks ( 2.2 ) Chronic Sialorrhea in Pediatric Patients: the recommended dose is based on body weight administered in a 3:2 dose ratio into the parotid and submandibular glands, respectively, no sooner than every 16 weeks; ultrasound guidance recommended ( 2.2 ) Upper limb spasticity, cervical dystonia, and blepharospasm: the optimum dose, frequency, and number of injection sites in the treated muscle(s) should be based on severity and prior treatment response in patients previously treated with botulinum toxin; individualize dosing for each patient:...
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions to XEOMIN are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Spread of Effects from Toxin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Lack of Unit Equivalency between Botulinum Toxin Products [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Corneal Exposure, Corneal Ulceration, and Ectropion in Patients Treated with XEOMIN for Blepharospasm [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Risk of Ptosis in Patients Treated for Glabellar Lines [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] The most commonly observed adverse reactions at...
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Aminoglycosides or other agents that interfere with neuromuscular transmission may potentiate the effect of XEOMIN; co-administer only with caution and close observation ( 7 ) 7.1 Aminoglycosides and Other Agents Interfering with Neuromuscular Transmission Co-administration of XEOMIN and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (e.g., tubocurarine-type muscle relaxants) should only be performed with caution as these agents may potentiate the effect of the toxin. 7.2 Anticholinergic Drugs Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of XEOMIN may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects.
Warnings
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of XEOMIN and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, blurred vision, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Respiratory, speech, or swallowing difficulties: increased risk if bilateral neck muscle injections are needed, or with pre-existing muscular disorders; immediate medical attention may be required ( 5.1 , 5.4 ) The potency Units of XEOMIN cannot be compared to or converted into Units of any other preparations of botulinum toxin products ( 5.2 ) Corneal exposure and ulceration: protective measures may be required ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Spread of Toxin Effect Postmarketing safety data from XEOMIN and other approved botulinum toxins suggest that botulinum toxin effects may, in some cases, be observed beyond the site of local injection. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS XEOMIN is contraindicated in patients with: Known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin product or to any of the components in the formulation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Description (11) ] . Infection at the proposed injection site(s) because it could lead to severe local or disseminated infection.
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of XEOMIN in pregnant women. XEOMIN should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. XEOMIN was embryotoxic in rats and increased abortions in rabbits when given at doses higher than the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) for cervical dystonia (120 Units), on a body weight basis. In the U.S.
Storage
Storage and Handling Store unopened vials of XEOMIN at or below 25°C (77°F). Refrigeration of unopened vials is not required. Do not use after the expiration date on the vial. Reconstituted XEOMIN may be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 24 hours until time of use [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) ].
