Clinical information

Uses

MYOBLOC is an acetylcholine release inhibitor indicated for: Treatment of cervical dystonia to reduce the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain associated with cervical dystonia in adults. Treatment of chronic sialorrhea in adults

Source: US FDA prescribing information

How it works

MYOBLOC blocks cholinergic transmission at the neuromuscular and salivary neuroglandular junction by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from peripheral cholinergic nerved terminals. This inhibition occurs according to the following sequence: neurotoxin binding to cholinergic nerve terminals, internalization of the neurotoxin into the nerve terminal, translocation of the light-chain part of the molecule into the cytosol of the nerve terminal, and enzymatic cleavage of synaptic Vesicle Associated Membrane Protein (VAMP, also known as synaptobrevin), a presynaptic target protein essential for the release of acetylcholine. In both muscles and glands, impulse transmission is re-established by the formation of new nerve endings.

Dosing overview

Cervical Dystonia: for patients with demonstrated tolerance of botulinum toxin injection, recommended total dosage is 2,500 Units to 5,000 Units divided among effected muscles. Chronic Sialorrhea: recommended dosage is 1,500 Units to 3,500 Units, 500 Units to 1,500 Units per parotid gland and 250 Units per submandibular gland, no more frequent than every 12 weeks

Contraindications

MYOBLOC is contraindicated in patients with: A known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin product or to any of the components in the formulation Infection at the proposed injection site(s) MYOBLOC is contraindicated in patients with: Known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation. Infection at the proposed injection site(s)

Warnings and precautions

Boxed warning (distant spread of toxin effect): Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of MYOBLOC 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. Spread of toxin effects, swallowing and breathing difficulties can lead to death. Seek immediate medical attention if respiratory, speech or swallowing difficulties occur. MYOBLOC potency units cannot be compared to or converted into units of other botulinum toxins. Patients with neuromuscular disorders should be monitored closely for swallowing/breathing difficulty

Side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions to MYOBLOC are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Spread of Toxin Effect Lack of Interchangeability Between Botulinum Toxin Products Hypersensitivity Reactions Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases The most common adverse reactions (>5% of MYOBLOC-treated patients at any dose and >5% more common than placebo) include: Cervical Dystonia: dry mouth, dysphagia, injection site pain, and headache. Chronic Sialorrhea: dry mouth and dysphagia

Interactions

Co-administration with aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission may potentiate effects of MYOBLOC. Co-administration or overlapping of botulinum toxin serotypes (within 4 months) may potentiate neuromuscular paralysis

Storage

Store under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F- 46°F) in the original carton to protect from light. DO NOT FREEZE. DO NOT SHAKE.
