The FDA recently issued a warning regarding negative reactions from Botox that have been reported.
According to officials from the FDA, Botox Cosmetic and Myobloc have been linked to respiratory failure and even death in certain cases.
Risks Associated with Various Forms of Botox
In a recent review conducted by the agency, the cause of the reactions is not known and researchers have not found any conclusive evidence yet that the products are defective.
These risks have been linked to both the FDA-approved and non-approved forms of Botox.
Children At Highest Risk
Reports claim that the most severe reactions occurred in children who have cerebral palsy and are being treated with Botox.
Researchers believe that these reactions are happening as a result of the spreading of toxins in various parts of the body.
Complications Still Under Investigation
Although risks have been reported, the FDA advises doctors to continue treating patients with Botox until further research is done.
