Washington - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking into the safety of Botox and the severe side effects it can cause. The anti-wrinkle drug has been linked to deaths of children.
The drug uses a botulinum toxin which basically blocks nerve impulses to muscles. This allows them to relax and allows the anti-wrinkle effect to take place.
The problem with the drug though is that it can spread beyond where it is injected into the body. This allows it to spread to different areas and can cause certain respiratory muscles to become paralyzed.
This causes people to have a tough time swallowing food, as well as other severe side effects taking shape.
The FDA has already stated that many deaths of children patients have been linked directly to Botox.
The FDA had already approved the drug Botox to treat children with cerebral palsy for limb spasms. This is all going to be under review now by the FDA after these new revelations about Botox continue to come out.
