Important Tips for Medical Practitioners
Establish Your Own Dosing Protocol: Botulax units are not interchangeable with Botox, Dysport, or other toxins. Begin with conservative, area-specific dosing based on Botulax clinical data or established peer protocols, and adjust based on individual patient response. Do not use direct 1:1 conversion ratios from other brands.
Reconstitution for Desired Effect: The volume of diluent significantly affects the concentration and spread. A moderate dilution (e.g., 2.5 mL per 100 μL vial) is a common starting point for balanced diffusion. Always use preservative-free saline.
Understand Its Characteristic: Botulax is generally noted to have a diffusion profile that is precise yet slightly broader than some counterparts. Factor this into injection point planning, especially near the orbital rim, to minimize the risk of eyelid ptosis.
Storage & Stability: Store unopened vials refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C. Post-reconstitution, stability data can vary; a standard clinical guideline is to use within 24 hours when refrigerated, but always refer to the latest manufacturer instructions.
Comprehensive Patient Assessment: As with all neuromodulators, a thorough consultation is critical. Screen for contraindications, manage expectations regarding onset and duration, and document pre-treatment status with photography. Obtain specific informed consent for off-label uses.
