Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), also called botulinum toxin type A), is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.
Xeomin injection is used in adults to treat:
muscle spasms and stiffness of the arms (upper limb spasticity);
cervical dystonia (severe spasms in the neck muscles), or muscle stiffness in the elbows, wrists, fingers, ankles, or toes;
certain eye muscle conditions caused by nerve disorders (including uncontrolled blinking or spasm of the eyelids, and a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction); or
to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles (sometimes called "frown lines") between the eyebrows.
Xeomin is also used in children at least 2 years old to treat;
upper limb spasticity that is not caused by cerebral palsy; or
chronic drooling (sialorrhea).
