Article Synopsis
- Botulinum toxin, specifically Botulinum toxin type A (BTA), is commonly used for treating muscle hyperactivity and cosmetic purposes but can cause adverse effects like headaches and drooping eyelids.
- A study analyzing 1,464 Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) found that 718 reports associated BTA with skin toxicity, predominantly affecting females aged 18-64.
- The most frequent skin-related issues included erythema, rash, and swelling, indicating a need for further research to clarify the safety profile of BTA, especially regarding hypersensitivity reactions.
