Should I ask where a low-cost botulinum toxin product came from?
Question to clarify
Low-cost botulinum toxin injections are advertised through social accounts and private websites. Besides the injector’s license, what should I verify about the product?
Source-backed answer
Confirm the product name, approval status, labeled packaging, and whether it came through an authorized supply chain, as well as the clinician’s license and training. The FDA has warned sellers of unapproved or misbranded botulinum toxin products. Seek emergency care for difficulty swallowing or breathing, spreading weakness, or other severe symptoms after an injection.
