NABOTA® (JEUVEAU®) (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is a prescription medication indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines. These lines, often referred to as “frown lines,” are associated with corrugator and procerus muscle activity in adults. It works as a neuromuscular blocking agent that inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction.
The recommended dosage for NABOTA® (JEUVEAU®) is a total of 20 Units injected across five intramuscular sites, focusing on the muscles responsible for frown lines (corrugator and procerus muscles).
NABOTA® (JEUVEAU®) carries several risks associated with the spread of botulinum toxin effects beyond the injection site, which can result in life-threatening symptoms. These include breathing difficulties, swallowing issues, and, in rare cases, death.
Distant spread of toxin effects leading to generalized muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, speech disorders, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms can appear hours to weeks after injection and may be life-threatening in severe cases.
Precautions include avoiding use in patients with hypersensitivity to botulinum toxins or those with infections at the injection site. The product is not interchangeable with other botulinum toxin products due to differences in biological activity.
Clinical trials demonstrated the efficacy of NABOTA® (JEUVEAU®) in improving the appearance of glabellar lines in adults, with two randomized, placebo-controlled studies (EV-001 and EV-002) involving a total of 654 subjects. Both studies measured the improvement of glabellar lines on a 4-point Glabellar Line Severity Scale (GLS), with results indicating substantial efficacy:
The product was well-tolerated, and adverse events were consistent with those seen in other botulinum toxin products. The most common side effects were mild and typically resolved within weeks of treatment.
Use of NABOTA® (JEUVEAU®) may be potentiated by certain medications, including:
Patients should be carefully monitored if they are taking any of these medications, as the effects of NABOTA® (JEUVEAU®) may be amplified, increasing the risk of complications like excessive muscle weakness.
