Product Introduction
Zarbot 100IU Injection contains Botulinum Toxin Type A as its active ingredient. It is a neurotoxin that partially blocks nerve impulses, reduces excessive muscle contractions, and relaxes muscles.
This medicine is used to treat several conditions. It blocks pain signals and prevents migraines in chronic migraine. When injected into the skin, it reduces sweat production by affecting sweat glands. When injected into the bladder wall, it prevents urinary incontinence by inhibiting uncontrolled bladder muscle contractions. The medicine is administered by direct injection into muscles, the bladder wall, or deep into the skin depending on the condition being treated.
Zarbot 100IU Injection helps with muscle spasms in children and adults, including those with cerebral palsy. It prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraines and reduces urinary incontinence and overactive bladder symptoms. It can also control excessive underarm sweating and temporarily improve the appearance of facial lines.
Do not use Zarbot 100IU Injection if you are allergic to Botulinum Toxin Type A or any of its ingredients. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active infection at the injection site. For urinary incontinence treatment, do not use it if you have a urinary tract infection, are unable to empty the bladder without a catheter, or are unwilling to use a catheter when needed.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of swallowing difficulties or aspiration of food into the lungs, particularly when treating muscle spasms in the neck and shoulders. Additionally, inform your doctor if you are 65 years or older with underlying serious illnesses, muscle-related conditions, nervous system disorders, significant muscle weakness, or wasting. Notify your doctor if you have had previous surgery in the target area, adverse reactions to injections, inflammation at the injection site, or cardiovascular disease. Report to your doctor if you have a seizure history, closed-angle glaucoma or risk factors, upcoming surgery, or are taking blood-thinning medication.
Uses
Treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency in adults Prophylaxis of headaches in adult patients with chronic migraine Treatment of spasticity (abnormal increase in muscle) in adult patients Treatment of cervical dystonia in adult patients Treatment of severe axillary hyperhidrosis (increased amount of sweat production) in adult Treatment of blepharospasm (abnormal spasm of eyes) associated with dystonia in patients Treatment of strabismus (abnormal alignment of the eyes) in patients
How it works
Zarbot 100IU injection interacts with proteins in the muscles and exocrine glands and blocks the release of Acetylcholine (ACh) into the space between neurons. This process inhibits cholinergic nerves' overactivity and reduces cholinergic transmission. When locally injected, it suppresses the overactive nerves and relieves spasms and neurological conditions.
How to Use
Zarbot 100IU injection will be administered to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. It is usually injected into muscles, the bladder wall, or the skin. Your doctor will decide the dose, route of administration, and frequency based on your disease condition and other factors.
