function of botox
Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) is a treatment used for muscle
spasms, which is derived from a strain of bacteria called
Clostridium Botulinum.
o When Botox is injected into the muscles it reduces spasms by
blocking the transmission between the muscle fibres and endings
of the nerves. Botox effectively weakens the muscles and causes
localised paralysis.
