On Sept. 10, Shelly Studley asked about Botox injection. The RxList (at http://www.rxlist.com ) lists a drug with the brand name Butox. Its generic name is botulinium toxin. It is classed as a Toxoid. The daughter of a friend suffers from Blepharoptosis, a very mean affliction that causes the eyelids to droop to the extent that the patient cannot see. She gets some relief from periodic injections of botulinium toxin. I think, from what I know about botulism and from hearing about her problem that it requires some special skill to administer it safely. Hope it helps your dad. Martha Rohrer
