DaxibotulinumtoxinA

DaxibotulinumtoxinA is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and neuromuscular blocking agent. It is a botulinum toxin without accessory proteins purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum type A, the gram-positive anaerobic bacterium primarily present in soil. C. botulinum is known to produce toxins that can cause botulism in humans. DaxibotulinumtoxinA was first approved by the FDA on September 8, 2022, for the temporary improvement of glabellar lines. On August 14, 2023, the drug was also approved for the treatment of cervical dystonia. DAXI or DAXXIFY, a product of daxibotulinumtoxinA, incorporates RTP004, a proprietary synthetic stabilizing peptide for enhanced product stability.
