Prescribing uses of botulinum toxin

Robertson, Deborah

Abstract

Last month the research roundup provided you with an overview of articles that reported on some issues, barriers, and challenges in prescribing practice (Robertson, 2022). This month, we will be reviewing articles looking at the many and varied uses of botulinum toxin. The three articles reviewed examine the more commonly known area of prescribing for glabellar lines in aesthetic practice. The roundup will also consider the use of botulinum toxin for overactive bladder conditions and the management of hyperhidrosis. New areas for uses of botox continue to emerge and this review is not exhaustive in the conditions presented.
