The recommended initial dose for treatment naïve patients is 50 units (25 units per eye). Subsequent doses in patients previously treated with Xeomin should not exceed the maximum dose of 100 units per treatment session (50 units per eye), every 12 weeks or longer, as necessary. |
Upper Limb Spasticity |
The dosage, frequency, and number of injection sites should be tailored to the individual patient based on the size, number, and location of muscles to be treated, severity of spasticity, presence of local muscle weakness, patient’s response to previous treatment, and adverse event history with Xeomin. Localization of the involved muscles with electromyographic guidance, nerve stimulation, or ultrasound techniques is recommended. Adults Up to 400 units total, repeated no sooner than every 12 weeks Pediatrics 8 units/kg, divided among affected muscles, up to a maximum dose of 200 units per single upper limb. If both upper limbs are treated, total Xeomin dosage should not exceed 16 Units/kg, up to a maximum of 400 units, repeated no sooner than every 12 weeks |

Overactive Bladder (OAB) |
Up to 100 units per treatment divided among the affected muscles every 12 weeks |
Sialorrhea |
Adults: 30 units per parotid gland and 20 units per submandibular gland (50 units per each side of the face for a total recommended dose of 100 units per treatment session), repeated no sooner than every 16 weeks Pediatrics: Dosing is based on body weight as noted below and is repeated no sooner than every 16 weeks
|
