Clinical information

From the regulator-approved product information. Each section names its source.

Uses

DAXXIFY is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and neuromuscular-blocking agent indicated for: Temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/ or procerus muscle activity in adult patients. The treatment of cervical dystonia in adult patients.

Source: US FDA prescribing information

How it works

DAXXIFY blocks neuromuscular transmission at the neuromuscular junction by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine. This inhibition occurs as the neurotoxin cleaves SNAP-25, a protein necessary for the successful docking and release of acetylcholine vesicles within nerve endings. Recovery of neurotransmission occurs gradually as the neuromuscular junction recovers from SNAP-25 cleavage and as new nerve endings are formed.

Warnings and precautions

Boxed warning (distant spread of toxin effect): The effects of all botulinum toxin products, including DAXXIFY, may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. 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 potency units of DAXXIFY are not interchangeable with other preparations of other botulinum toxin products. Spread of toxin effects, swallowing and breathing difficulties can lead to death. Seek immediate medical attention if respiratory, speech, or swallowing difficulties occur. Adverse event reports have been received involving the cardiovascular system with botulinum toxin products, some with fatal outcomes.
