1 S T R E A M L I N E Billing nd Coding for Chronic Migrine Indiction Chronic Migrine for injection is indicted for the prophylxis of hedches in dult ptients with chronic migrine ( 15 dys per month with hedche lsting 4 hours dy or longer). Importnt Limittions Sfety nd effectiveness hve not been estblished for the prophylxis of episodic migrine (14 hedche dys or fewer per month) in 7 plcebo-controlled studies. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT Postmrketing reports indicte tht the effects of nd ll botulinum toxin products my spred from the re of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These my include stheni, generlized muscle wekness, diplopi, ptosis, dysphgi, dysphoni, dysrthri, urinry incontinence, nd brething difficulties. These symptoms hve been reported hours to weeks fter injection. Swllowing nd brething difficulties cn be life thretening, nd there hve been reports of deth. The risk of symptoms is probbly gretest in children treted for spsticity, but symptoms cn lso occur in dults treted for spsticity nd other conditions, prticulrly in those ptients who hve n underlying condition tht would predispose them to these symptoms. In unpproved uses, including spsticity in children, nd in pproved indictions, cses of spred of effect hve been reported t doses comprble to those used to tret cervicl dystoni nd spsticity nd t lower doses.

Plese see dditionl Importnt Sfety Informtion bout on following pge.

3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (continued) Serious Adverse Rections With Unpproved Use Serious dverse rections, including excessive wekness, dysphgi, nd spirtion pneumoni, with some dverse rections ssocited with ftl outcomes, hve been reported in ptients who received (onbotulinumtoxina) injections for unpproved uses. In these cses, the dverse rections were not necessrily relted to distnt spred of toxin, but my hve resulted from the dministrtion of to the site of injection nd/or djcent structures. In severl of the cses, ptients hd pre-existing dysphgi or other significnt disbilities. There is insufficient informtion to identify fctors ssocited with n incresed risk for dverse rections ssocited with the unpproved uses of. The sfety nd effectiveness of for unpproved uses hve not been estblished. Hypersensitivity Rections Serious nd/or immedite hypersensitivity rections hve been reported. These rections include nphylxis, serum sickness, urticri, soft-tissue edem, nd dyspne. If such rection occurs, further injection of should be discontinued nd pproprite medicl therpy immeditely instituted. One ftl cse of nphylxis hs been reported in which lidocine ws used s the diluent, nd consequently the cusl gent cnnot be relibly determined. Incresed Risk of Cliniclly Significnt Effects With Pre-Existing Neuromusculr Disorders Individuls with peripherl motor neuropthic diseses, myotrophic lterl sclerosis, or neuromusculr junction disorders (eg, mystheni grvis or Lmbert-Eton syndrome) should be monitored when given botulinum toxin. Ptients with known or unrecognized neuromusculr disorders or neuromusculr junction disorders my be t incresed risk of cliniclly significnt effects including generlized muscle wekness, diplopi, ptosis, dysphoni, dysrthri, severe dysphgi, nd respirtory compromise from therpeutic doses of (see Wrnings nd Precutions). Dysphgi nd Brething Difficulties with nd other botulinum toxin products cn result in swllowing or brething difficulties. Ptients with pre-existing swllowing or brething difficulties my be more susceptible to these complictions. In most cses, this is consequence of wekening of muscles in the re of injection tht re involved in brething or orophryngel muscles tht control swllowing or brething (see Boxed Wrning). Humn Albumin nd Trnsmission of Virl Diseses This product contins lbumin, derivtive of humn blood. Bsed on effective donor screening nd product mnufcturing processes, it crries n extremely remote risk for trnsmission of virl diseses nd vrint Creutzfeldt-Jkob disese (vcjd). There is theoreticl risk for trnsmission of Creutzfeldt-Jkob disese (CJD), but if tht risk ctully exists, the risk of trnsmission would lso be considered extremely remote. No cses of trnsmission of virl diseses, CJD, or vcjd hve ever been identified for licensed lbumin or lbumin contined in other licensed products. ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse rections to (onbotulinumtoxina) for injection re discussed in greter detil in the following sections: Boxed Wrning, Contrindictions, nd Wrnings nd Precutions. Chronic Migrine The most frequently reported dverse rections following injection of for chronic migrine include neck pin (9%), hedche (5%), eyelid ptosis (4%), migrine (4%), musculr wekness (4%), musculoskeletl stiffness (4%), bronchitis (3%), injection-site pin (3%), musculoskeletl pin (3%), mylgi (3%), fcil presis (2%), hypertension (2%), nd muscle spsms (2%). Postmrketing Experience There hve been spontneous reports of deth, sometimes ssocited with dysphgi, pneumoni, nd/or other significnt debility or nphylxis, fter tretment with botulinum toxin. There hve lso been reports of dverse events involving the crdiovsculr system, including rrhythmi nd myocrdil infrction, some with ftl outcomes. Some of these ptients hd risk fctors including crdiovsculr disese. The exct reltionship of these events to the botulinum toxin injection hs not been estblished. DRUG INTERACTIONS Co-dministrtion of or other gents interfering with neuromusculr trnsmission (eg, minoglycosides, curre-like compounds) should only be performed with cution s the effect of the toxin my be potentited.

A decrese or increse in the dose is lso possible by dministering smller or lrger injection volume - from 0.05 ml (50% decrese in dose) to 0.15 ml (50% increse in dose). An injection of is prepred by drwing into n ppropritely sized sterile syringe n mount of the properly reconstituted toxin slightly greter thn the intended dose. Air bubbles in the syringe brrel re expelled nd the syringe is ttched to n pproprite injection needle. Ptency of the needle should be confirmed. A new, sterile needle nd syringe should be used to enter the vil on ech occsion for removl of. Reconstituted should be cler, colorless, nd free of prticulte mtter. Prenterl drug products should be inspected visully for prticulte mtter nd discolortion prior to dministrtion nd whenever the solution nd the continer permit. 2.3 Bldder Dysfunction Generl Ptients must not hve urinry trct infection (UTI) t the time of tretment. Prophylctic ntibiotics, except minoglycosides, [see Drug Interctions (7.1)] should be dministered 1-3 dys pre-tretment, on the tretment dy, nd 1-3 dys posttretment to reduce the likelihood of procedure-relted UTI. Ptients should discontinue nti-pltelet therpy t lest 3 dys before the injection procedure. Ptients on nti-cogulnt therpy need to be mnged ppropritely to decrese the risk of bleeding. Approprite cution should be exercised when performing cystoscopy. Overctive Bldder An intrvesicl instilltion of diluted locl nesthetic with or without sedtion my be used prior to injection, per locl site prctice. If locl nesthetic instilltion is performed, the bldder should be drined nd irrigted with sterile sline before injection. The recommended dose is of, nd is the mximum recommended dose. The recommended dilution is /10 ml with preservtive-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP (see Tble 1). Dispose of ny unused sline. Reconstituted (/10 ml) is injected into the detrusor muscle vi flexible or rigid cystoscope, voiding the trigone. The bldder should be instilled with enough sline to chieve dequte visuliztion for the injections, but over-distension should be voided. The injection needle should be filled (primed) with pproximtely 1 ml of reconstituted prior to the strt of injections (depending on the needle length) to remove ny ir. The needle should be inserted pproximtely 2 mm into the detrusor, nd 20 injections of 0.5 ml ech (totl volume of 10 ml) should be spced pproximtely 1 cm prt (see Figure 1). For the finl injection, pproximtely 1 ml of sterile norml sline should be injected so tht the remining in the needle is delivered to the bldder. After the injections re given, ptients should demonstrte their bility to void prior to leving the clinic. The ptient should be observed for t lest 30 minutes post-injection nd until spontneous void hs occurred. Ptients should be considered for reinjection when the clinicl effect of the previous injection hs diminished (medin time until ptients qulified for the second tretment of in double-blind, plcebo-controlled clinicl studies ws 169 dys [~24 weeks]), but no sooner thn 12 weeks from the prior bldder injection.

This will result in three 10 ml syringes ech contining 10 ml (~67 Units in ech), for totl of 200 Units of reconstituted. Use immeditely fter reconstitution in the syringe. Dispose of ny unused sline. Reconstituted (200 Units/30 ml) is injected into the detrusor muscle vi flexible or rigid cystoscope, voiding the trigone. The bldder should be instilled with enough sline to chieve dequte visuliztion for the injections, but over-distension should be voided. The injection needle should be filled (primed) with pproximtely 1 ml of reconstituted prior to the strt of injections (depending on the needle length) to remove ny ir. The needle should be inserted pproximtely 2 mm into the detrusor, nd 30 injections of 1 ml (~6.7 Units) ech (totl volume of 30 ml) should be spced pproximtely 1 cm prt (see Figure 1). For the finl injection, pproximtely 1 ml of sterile norml sline should be injected so tht the remining in the needle is delivered to the bldder. After the injections re given, the sline used for bldder wll visuliztion should be drined. The ptient should be observed for t lest 30 minutes post-injection. Ptients should be considered for re-injection when the clinicl effect of the previous injection diminishes (medin time to qulifiction for re-tretment in the double-blind, plcebo-controlled clinicl studies ws dys [42-48 weeks] for 200 Units), but no sooner thn 12 weeks from the prior bldder injection. 2.4 Chronic Migrine The recommended dilution is 200 Units/4 ml or /2 ml, with finl concentrtion of 5 Units per 0.1 ml (see Tble 1). The recommended dose for treting chronic migrine is 155 Units dministered intrmusculrly using sterile 30-guge, 0.5 inch needle s 0.1 ml (5 Units) injections per ech site. Injections should be divided cross 7 specific hed/neck muscle res s specified in the digrms nd Tble 2 below. A one inch needle my be needed in the neck region for ptients with thick neck muscles. With the exception of the procerus muscle, which should be injected t one site (midline), ll muscles should be injected bilterlly with hlf the number of injection sites dministered to the left, nd hlf to the right side of the hed nd neck. The recommended re-tretment schedule is every 12 weeks.

The recommended dilution is 200 Units/4 ml or /2 ml with preservtivefree 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP (see Tble 1). The lowest recommended strting dose should be used, nd no more thn 50 Units per site should generlly be dministered. An ppropritely sized needle (e.g., guge) my be used for superficil muscles, nd longer 22 guge needle my be used for deeper musculture. Locliztion of the involved muscles with techniques such s needle electromyogrphic guidnce or nerve stimultion is recommended. Repet tretment my be dministered when the effect of previous injection hs diminished, but generlly no sooner thn 12 weeks fter the previous injection. The degree nd pttern of muscle spsticity t the time of re-injection my necessitte ltertions in the dose of nd muscles to be injected. Upper Limb Spsticity In clinicl trils, doses rnging from 75 Units to 400 Units were divided mong selected muscles (see Tble 3 nd Figure 2) t given tretment session.

The men dose dministered to ptients in this study ws 236 Units (25th to 75th percentile rnge of 198 Units to 300 Units). The dose ws divided mong the ffected muscles [see Clinicl Studies (14.5)]. Dosing in initil nd sequentil tretment sessions should be tilored to the individul ptient bsed on the ptient s hed nd neck position, locliztion of pin, muscle hypertrophy, ptient response, nd dverse event history. The initil dose for ptient without prior use of should be t lower dose, with subsequent dosing djusted bsed on individul response. Limiting the totl dose injected into the sternocleidomstoid muscle to or less my decrese the occurrence of dysphgi [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.2, 5.5, 5.6)]. The recommended dilution is 200 Units/2 ml, 200 Units/4 ml, /1 ml, or /2 ml with preservtive-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, depending on volume nd number of injection sites desired to chieve tretment objectives (see Tble 1). In generl, no more thn 50 Units per site should be dministered using sterile needle (e.g., guge) of n pproprite length. Locliztion of the involved muscles with electromyogrphic guidnce my be useful.

8 Clinicl improvement generlly begins within the first two weeks fter injection with mximum clinicl benefit t pproximtely six weeks post-injection. In the doubleblind, plcebo-controlled study most subjects were observed to hve returned to pretretment sttus by 3 months post-tretment. 2.7 Primry Axillry Hyperhidrosis The recommended dose is 50 Units per xill. The hyperhidrotic re to be injected should be defined using stndrd stining techniques, e.g., Minor s Iodine-Strch Test. The recommended dilution is /4 ml with 0.9% preservtive-free sterile sline (see Tble 1). Using sterile 30 guge needle, 50 Units of (2 ml) is injected intrdermlly in 0.1 to 0.2 ml liquots to ech xill evenly distributed in multiple sites (10-15) pproximtely 1-2 cm prt. Repet injections for hyperhidrosis should be dministered when the clinicl effect of previous injection diminishes. Instructions for the Minor s Iodine-Strch Test Procedure: Ptients should shve underrms nd bstin from use of over-the-counter deodornts or ntiperspirnts for 24 hours prior to the test. Ptient should be resting comfortbly without exercise, hot drinks for pproximtely 30 minutes prior to the test. Dry the underrm re nd then immeditely pint it with iodine solution. Allow the re to dry, then lightly sprinkle the re with strch powder. Gently blow off ny excess strch powder. The hyperhidrotic re will develop deep blue-blck color over pproximtely 10 minutes. Ech injection site hs ring of effect of up to pproximtely 2 cm in dimeter. To minimize the re of no effect, the injection sites should be evenly spced s shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: Injection Pttern for Primry Axillry Hyperhidrosis Ech dose is injected to depth of pproximtely 2 mm nd t 45 ngle to the skin surfce, with the bevel side up to minimize lekge nd to ensure the injections remin intrderml. If injection sites re mrked in ink, do not inject directly through the ink mrk to void permnent tttoo effect. 2.8 Blephrospsm For blephrospsm, reconstituted is injected using sterile, guge needle without electromyogrphic guidnce. The initil recommended dose is 1.25 Units-2.5 Units (0.05 ml to 0.1 ml volume t ech site) injected into the medil nd lterl pretrsl orbiculris oculi of the upper lid nd into the lterl pre-trsl orbiculris oculi of the lower lid. Avoiding injection ner the levtor plpebre superioris my reduce the compliction of ptosis. Avoiding medil lower lid injections, nd thereby reducing diffusion into the inferior oblique, my reduce the compliction of diplopi. Ecchymosis occurs esily in the soft eyelid tissues. This cn be prevented by pplying pressure t the injection site immeditely fter the injection. The recommended dilution to chieve 1.25 Units is /8 ml; for 2.5 Units it is /4 ml (see Tble 1). In generl, the initil effect of the injections is seen within three dys nd reches pek t one to two weeks post-tretment. Ech tretment lsts pproximtely three months, following which the procedure cn be repeted. At repet tretment sessions, the dose my be incresed up to two-fold if the response from the initil tretment is considered insufficient, usully defined s n effect tht does not lst longer thn two months. However, there ppers to be little benefit obtinble from injecting more thn 5 Units per site. Some tolernce my be found when is used in treting blephrospsm if tretments re given ny more frequently thn every three months, nd is rre to hve the effect be permnent. The cumultive dose of tretment for blephrospsm in 30-dy period should not exceed 200 Units. 2.9 Strbismus is intended for injection into extroculr muscles utilizing the electricl ctivity recorded from the tip of the injection needle s guide to plcement within the trget muscle. Injection without surgicl exposure or electromyogrphic guidnce should not be ttempted. Physicins should be fmilir with electromyogrphic technique. To prepre the eye for injection, it is recommended tht severl drops of locl nesthetic nd n oculr decongestnt be given severl minutes prior to injection. The volume of injected for tretment of strbismus should be between ml per muscle. The initil listed doses of the reconstituted [see Dosge nd Administrtion (2.2)] typiclly crete prlysis of the injected muscles beginning one to two dys fter injection nd incresing in intensity during the first week. The prlysis lsts for 2-6 weeks nd grdully resolves over similr time period. Overcorrections lsting over six months hve been rre. About one hlf of ptients will require subsequent doses becuse of indequte prlytic response of the muscle to the initil dose, or becuse of mechnicl fctors such s lrge devitions or restrictions, or becuse of the lck of binoculr motor fusion to stbilize the lignment. Initil Doses in Units Use the lower listed doses for tretment of smll devitions. Use the lrger doses only for lrge devitions. For verticl muscles, nd for horizontl strbismus of less thn 20 prism diopters: 1.25 Units-2.5 Units in ny one muscle. For horizontl strbismus of 20 prism diopters to 50 prism diopters: 2.5 Units- 5 Units in ny one muscle. For persistent VI nerve plsy of one month or longer durtion: 1.25 Units-2.5 Units in the medil rectus muscle. Subsequent Doses for Residul or Recurrent Strbismus It is recommended tht ptients be re-exmined 7-14 dys fter ech injection to ssess the effect of tht dose. Ptients experiencing dequte prlysis of the trget muscle tht require subsequent injections should receive dose comprble to the initil dose. Subsequent doses for ptients experiencing incomplete prlysis of the trget muscle my be incresed up to two-fold compred to the previously dministered dose. Subsequent injections should not be dministered until the effects of the previous dose hve dissipted s evidenced by substntil function in the injected nd djcent muscles. The mximum recommended dose s single injection for ny one muscle is 25 Units. The recommended dilution to chieve 1.25 Units is /8 ml; for 2.5 Units it is /4 ml (see Tble 1). 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS Single-use, sterile or 200 Units vcuum-dried powder for reconstitution only with sterile, preservtive-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP prior to injection. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS 4.1 Known Hypersensitivity to Botulinum Toxin is contrindicted in ptients who re hypersensitive to ny botulinum toxin preprtion or to ny of the components in the formultion [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.4)]. 4.2 Infection t the Injection Site(s) is contrindicted in the presence of infection t the proposed injection site(s). 4.3 Urinry Trct Infection or Urinry Retention Intrdetrusor injection of is contrindicted in ptients with overctive bldder or detrusor overctivity ssocited with neurologic condition who hve urinry trct infection. Intrdetrusor injection of is lso contrindicted in ptients with urinry retention nd in ptients with post-void residul (PVR) urine volume >200 ml, who re not routinely performing clen intermittent self-ctheteriztion (CIC). 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Lck of Interchngebility between Botulinum Toxin Products The potency Units of re specific to the preprtion nd ssy method utilized. They re not interchngeble with other preprtions of botulinum toxin products nd, therefore, units of biologicl ctivity of cnnot be compred to nor converted into units of ny other botulinum toxin products ssessed with ny other specific ssy method [see Description (11)]. 5.2 Spred of Toxin Effect Postmrketing sfety dt from nd other pproved botulinum toxins suggest tht botulinum toxin effects my, in some cses, be observed beyond the site of locl injection. The symptoms re consistent with the mechnism of ction of botulinum toxin nd my include stheni, generlized muscle wekness, diplopi, ptosis, dysphgi, dysphoni, dysrthri, urinry incontinence, nd brething difficulties. These symptoms hve been reported hours to weeks fter injection. Swllowing nd brething difficulties cn be life thretening nd there hve been reports of deth relted to spred of toxin effects. The risk of symptoms is probbly gretest in children treted for spsticity but symptoms cn lso occur in dults treted for spsticity nd other conditions, nd prticulrly in those ptients who hve n underlying condition tht would predispose them to these symptoms. In unpproved uses, including spsticity in children, nd in pproved indictions, symptoms consistent with spred of toxin effect hve been reported t doses comprble to or lower thn doses used to tret cervicl dystoni nd spsticity. Ptients or cregivers should be dvised to seek immedite medicl cre if swllowing, speech or respirtory disorders occur. No definitive serious dverse event reports of distnt spred of toxin effect ssocited with for blephrospsm t the recommended dose (30 Units nd below), severe primry xillry hyperhidrosis t the recommended dose (), strbismus, or for chronic migrine t the lbeled doses hve been reported. 5.3 Serious Adverse Rections with Unpproved Use Serious dverse rections, including excessive wekness, dysphgi, nd spirtion pneumoni, with some dverse rections ssocited with ftl outcomes, hve been reported in ptients who received injections for unpproved uses. In these cses, the dverse rections were not necessrily relted to distnt spred of toxin, but my hve resulted from the dministrtion of to the site of injection nd/or djcent structures. In severl of the cses, ptients hd pre-existing dysphgi or other significnt disbilities. There is insufficient informtion to identify fctors ssocited with n incresed risk for dverse rections ssocited with the unpproved uses of. The sfety nd effectiveness of for unpproved uses hve not been estblished.

9 5.4 Hypersensitivity Rections Serious nd/or immedite hypersensitivity rections hve been reported. These rections include nphylxis, serum sickness, urticri, soft tissue edem, nd dyspne. If such rection occurs, further injection of should be discontinued nd pproprite medicl therpy immeditely instituted. One ftl cse of nphylxis hs been reported in which lidocine ws used s the diluent, nd consequently the cusl gent cnnot be relibly determined. 5.5 Incresed Risk of Cliniclly Significnt Effects with Pre-Existing Neuromusculr Disorders Individuls with peripherl motor neuropthic diseses, myotrophic lterl sclerosis or neuromusculr junction disorders (e.g., mystheni grvis or Lmbert-Eton syndrome) should be monitored when given botulinum toxin. Ptients with known or unrecognized neuromusculr disorders or neuromusculr junction disorders my be t incresed risk of cliniclly significnt effects including generlized muscle wekness, diplopi, ptosis, dysphoni, dysrthri, severe dysphgi nd respirtory compromise from therpeutic doses of [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.2, 5.6)]. 5.6 Dysphgi nd Brething Difficulties with nd other botulinum toxin products cn result in swllowing or brething difficulties. Ptients with pre-existing swllowing or brething difficulties my be more susceptible to these complictions. In most cses, this is consequence of wekening of muscles in the re of injection tht re involved in brething or orophryngel muscles tht control swllowing or brething [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.2)]. Deths s compliction of severe dysphgi hve been reported fter tretment with botulinum toxin. Dysphgi my persist for severl months, nd require use of feeding tube to mintin dequte nutrition nd hydrtion. Aspirtion my result from severe dysphgi nd is prticulr risk when treting ptients in whom swllowing or respirtory function is lredy compromised. with botulinum toxins my weken neck muscles tht serve s ccessory muscles of ventiltion. This my result in criticl loss of brething cpcity in ptients with respirtory disorders who my hve become dependent upon these ccessory muscles. There hve been postmrketing reports of serious brething difficulties, including respirtory filure. Ptients with smller neck muscle mss nd ptients who require bilterl injections into the sternocleidomstoid muscle for the tretment of cervicl dystoni hve been reported to be t greter risk for dysphgi. Limiting the dose injected into the sternocleidomstoid muscle my reduce the occurrence of dysphgi. Injections into the levtor scpule my be ssocited with n incresed risk of upper respirtory infection nd dysphgi. Ptients treted with botulinum toxin my require immedite medicl ttention should they develop problems with swllowing, speech or respirtory disorders. These rections cn occur within hours to weeks fter injection with botulinum toxin [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.2)]. 5.7 Pulmonry Effects of in Ptients with Compromised Respirtory Sttus Treted for Spsticity or for Detrusor Overctivity ssocited with Neurologic Condition Ptients with compromised respirtory sttus treted with for spsticity should be monitored closely. In double-blind, plcebo-controlled, prllel group study in ptients treted for upper limb spsticity with stble reduced pulmonry function (defined s FEV % of predicted vlue nd FEV 1 /FVC 0.75), the event rte in chnge of Forced Vitl Cpcity (FVC) 15% or 20% ws generlly greter in ptients treted with thn in ptients treted with plcebo (see Tble 5). Tble 5: Event Rte Per Ptient Cycle Among Ptients with Reduced Lung Function Who Experienced t Lest 15% or 20% Decrese in FVC From Bseline t Week 1, 6, 12 Post-injection with Up to Two Cycles with or 360 Units 240 Units 15% 20% 15% 20% 15% 20% Week 1 4% 0% 3% 0% 7% 3% Week 6 7% 4% 4% 2% 2% 2% Week 12 10% 5% 2% 1% 4% 1% Differences from plcebo were not sttisticlly significnt In spsticity ptients with reduced lung function, upper respirtory trct infections were lso reported more frequently s dverse rections in ptients treted with thn in ptients treted with plcebo [see Wrnings nd Precutions (5.10)]. In double-blind, plcebo-controlled, prllel group study in dult ptients with detrusor overctivity ssocited with neurologic condition nd restrictive lung disese of neuromusculr etiology [defined s FVC 50-80% of predicted vlue in ptients with spinl cord injury between C5 nd C8, or MS] the event rte in chnge of Forced Vitl Cpcity 15% or 20% ws generlly greter in ptients treted with thn in ptients treted with plcebo (see Tble 6). Tble 6: Number nd Percent of Ptients Experiencing t Lest 15% or 20% Decrese in FVC From Bseline t Week 2, 6, 12 Post-injection with or 200 Units 15% 20% 15% 20% Week 2 0/15 (0%) 0/15 (0%) 1/11 (9%) 0/11 (0%) Week 6 2/13 (15%) 1/13 (8%) 0/12 (0%) 0/12 (0%) Week 12 0/12 (0%) 0/12 (0%) 0/7 (0%) 0/7 (0%) 5.8 Cornel Exposure nd Ulcertion in Ptients Treted with for Blephrospsm Reduced blinking from injection of the orbiculris muscle cn led to cornel exposure, persistent epithelil defect, nd cornel ulcertion, especilly in ptients with VII nerve disorders. Vigorous tretment of ny epithelil defect should be employed. This my require protective drops, ointment, therpeutic soft contct lenses, or closure of the eye by ptching or other mens. 5.9 Retrobulbr Hemorrhges in Ptients Treted with for Strbismus During the dministrtion of for the tretment of strbismus, retrobulbr hemorrhges sufficient to compromise retinl circultion hve occurred. It is recommended tht pproprite instruments to decompress the orbit be ccessible Bronchitis nd Upper Respirtory Trct Infections in Ptients Treted for Spsticity Bronchitis ws reported more frequently s n dverse rection in ptients treted for upper limb spsticity with (3% t 251 Units-360 Units totl dose), compred to plcebo (1%). In ptients with reduced lung function treted for upper limb spsticity, upper respirtory trct infections were lso reported more frequently s dverse rections in ptients treted with (11% t 360 Units totl dose; 8% t 240 Units totl dose) compred to plcebo (6%). In dult ptients treted for lower limb spsticity, upper respirtory trct infections were reported more frequently s n dverse event in ptients treted with (2% t 300 Units to 400 Units totl dose) compred to plcebo (1%) Autonomic Dysreflexi in Ptients Treted for Detrusor Overctivity ssocited with Neurologic Condition Autonomic dysreflexi ssocited with intrdetrusor injections of could occur in ptients treted for detrusor overctivity ssocited with neurologic condition nd my require prompt medicl therpy. In clinicl trils, the incidence of utonomic dysreflexi ws greter in ptients treted with 200 Units compred with plcebo (1.5% versus 0.4%, respectively) Urinry Trct Infections in Ptients with Overctive Bldder increses the incidence of urinry trct infection [see Adverse Rections (6.1)]. Clinicl trils for overctive bldder excluded ptients with more thn 2 UTIs in the pst 6 months nd those tking ntibiotics chroniclly due to recurrent UTIs. Use of for the tretment of overctive bldder in such ptients nd in ptients with multiple recurrent UTIs during tretment should only be considered when the benefit is likely to outweigh the potentil risk Urinry Retention in Ptients Treted for Bldder Dysfunction Due to the risk of urinry retention, tret only ptients who re willing nd ble to initite ctheteriztion post-tretment, if required, for urinry retention. In ptients who re not ctheterizing, post-void residul (PVR) urine volume should be ssessed within 2 weeks post-tretment nd periodiclly s mediclly pproprite up to 12 weeks, prticulrly in ptients with multiple sclerosis or dibetes mellitus. Depending on ptient symptoms, institute ctheteriztion if PVR urine volume exceeds 200 ml nd continue until PVR flls below 200 ml. Instruct ptients to contct their physicin if they experience difficulty in voiding s ctheteriztion my be required. The incidence nd durtion of urinry retention is described below for ptients with overctive bldder nd detrusor overctivity ssocited with neurologic condition who received or plcebo injections. Overctive Bldder In double-blind, plcebo-controlled trils in ptients with OAB, the proportion of subjects who initited clen intermittent ctheteriztion (CIC) for urinry retention following tretment with or plcebo is shown in Tble 7.
