ABSTRACT:
The compositions and methods disclosed herein utilize admixtures of neurotoxins to cause denervation which is unexpectedly more localized and of longer duration than otherwise occurs with single neurotoxins. The compositions and methods of the invention utilize neurotoxin admixtures calibrated in median paralysis units rather than LD.sub.50 s. Admixtures of neurotoxins include, but are not limited to, the botulinum serotypes A-G and tetanus toxin. The clinical benefits of the disclosed invention include: lengthening intervals between neurotoxin treatments; reducing adverse immunogenic responses to neurotoxins; and, reducing adverse diffusion-dependent side-effects of neurotoxin treatments.
