BOTOX® chart documentation for upper limb spasticity (elbow, wrist, fingers, and thumb) UPPER LIMB SPASTICITY Indication Upper Limb Spasticity BOTOX® for injection is indicated for the treatment of upper limb spasticity in adult patients, to decrease the severity of increased muscle tone in elbow flexors (biceps), wrist flexors (flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris), finger flexors (flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum sublimis), and thumb flexors (adductor pollicis and flexor pollicis longus). Important Limitations Safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® have not been established for the treatment of other upper limb muscle groups, or for the treatment of lower limb spasticity. Safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® have not been established for the treatment of spasticity in pediatric patients under age 18 years. BOTOX® has not been shown to improve upper extremity functional abilities, or range of motion at a joint affected by a fixed contracture. Treatment with BOTOX® is not intended to substitute for usual standard of care rehabilitation regimens.

These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening, and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses, including spasticity in children, and in approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and upper limb spasticity and at lower doses.

BOTOX® chart documentation for upper limb spasticity (elbow, wrist, fingers, and thumb) (continued) Patient Assessment and History (continued) Ashworth Scale Score ✔ Score Severity Definition 0 None No increase in muscle tone Slight increase in muscle tone, giving a “catch” when the limb was moved in 1 Mild flexion or extension 2 Moderate More marked increase in muscle tone but affected limb is easily flexed 3 Severe Considerable increase in tone—passive movement difficult 4 Very severe Limb rigid in flexion or extension The expanded Ashworth Scale allows investigators to score half-point increments between each of the above categories. This is considered to allow more accurate recording of the patient’s condition.

A decrease or increase in the BOTOX® dose is also possible by administering a smaller or larger injection volume—from 0.05 mL (50% decrease in dose) to 0.15 mL (50% increase in dose). BOTOX® should only be reconstituted in preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP. Because the product and diluent do not contain a preservative, use within 24 hours once opened and reconstituted. During the 24 hours, BOTOX® solution should be stored in a refrigerator at 2ºC to 8ºC. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) CONTRAINDICATIONS BOTOX® is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation.

They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, Units of biological activity of BOTOX® cannot be compared to nor converted into Units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method.

In these cases, the adverse reactions were not an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases. A theoretical risk necessarily related to distant spread of toxin, but may have resulted from for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is also considered the administration of BOTOX® to the site of injection and/or adjacent extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases or CJD have structures. In several of the cases, patients had pre-existing dysphagia or ever been reported for albumin. other significant disabilities.
