I just read in my Worst Pills Best Pills Newsletter that the EU's European Medicines Agency warned about serious adverse events caused by Botox. "The main danger of concern was that the toxin was spreading from the original site of injection to distant places in the body. The adverse events caused by this, some of which were fatal, include muscle weakness, dysphagia and pneumonia." The article mentions that the EMA required the Botox manufacturers to provide a "Dear Doctor" letter in which one phrase struck me:"the need forr extreme caution in vulnerable patients, i.e.,those with neurological disorders or a history of dysphagia or aspiration." hope this is helpful.
