Dysport
Dysport (generic name: abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medication that is primarily used for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and for various medical conditions such as cervical dystonia and spasticity. Dysport is a type of botulinum toxin that works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and alleviate muscle spasms.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Dysport Work?
- Inhibiting acetylcholine release: It prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, from the nerve endings.
- Temporary muscle paralysis: By blocking the signals that cause muscle contractions, Dysport helps relax the targeted muscles, leading to a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and alleviation of muscle spasms.
Common Dosages
- For glabellar lines: The recommended dose is 20 units administered as five injections of 4 units each into the glabellar region.
- For cervical dystonia: The dosage varies depending on the severity of the condition and the size of the muscle groups involved.
Typical Dosing
- For frown lines: Dysport is typically administered every 3 to 4 months as needed, based on individual response and desired effects.

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Dysport injections should only be administered by trained healthcare professionals.
