LIZTOX 200 UNITS

Overview

LIZTOX® 200 U is a purified Botulinum toxin type A injectable, formulated to smooth dynamic facial wrinkles and manage localized hyperactivity such as excessive sweating. Each vial contains 200 units of active toxin in a 30 g presentation.

Composition

• Clostridium botulinum toxin type A: 200 U
• Human serum albumin: 0.5 mg
• Sodium chloride: 0.9 mg

Mechanism of Action

By blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, LIZTOX® induces controlled muscle relaxation. This effect softens both fine and deep expression lines and prevents the formation of new wrinkles. When injected into sweat glands, it reduces excessive perspiration without systemic effects.
