Reloxin preferred over Botox in tests?


I just returned from a Pharmadura meeting in Dallas, which centered around the upcoming FDA approval for Botox competitor Reloxin. It's called Dysport in Europe and is to be distributed by Medicis in North America.

The advantages of Reloxin are its faster onset and "softer" look. Some proponents claim there is a longer lastings effect, but this is not certain at present. Anecdotal evidence from patients in the U.S. FDA trials who were Botox users are that these patients preferred Reloxin. Adverse incidents from the FDA trials are less then those experienced with the Botox trials, but his may be due to the fact that the physicians in the trials are more experienced injectors.

We await FDA approval and hope to have Reloxin for clinical use by first quarter 2009.
