    INDICATIONS

    MYOBLOC® (rimabotulinumtoxinB) injection is indicated for:

    • the treatment of cervical dystonia (CD) to reduce the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain associated with CD in adults
    • the treatment of chronic sialorrhea in adults

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    MYOBLOC® may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems anytime (hours to weeks) after treatment with MYOBLOC:

    • Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing if the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak after the injection. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with MYOBLOC.
    • People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe and may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with MYOBLOC.
    • Swallowing problems may last for several months. People who cannot swallow well may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving MYOBLOC have the highest risk of getting these problems.
    • Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice (dysphonia), trouble saying words clearly (dysarthria), loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing (dysphagia).

    MYOBLOC is a prescription medicine used in adults that is injected into:

    • Muscles and used to treat the abnormal head position and neck pain that happens with cervical dystonia (CD)
