Neurobloc

Neurobloc is a brand of botulinum toxin type B injection used to treat cervical dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions in the neck and shoulders. The brand is produced by Eisai, a global pharmaceutical company.

Botulinum toxin type B is a neurotoxin that works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in muscle contractions. By blocking acetylcholine release, Neurobloc can help to reduce muscle spasms and relieve the symptoms of cervical dystonia.

Neurobloc is administered by injection into the affected muscles, typically by a healthcare professional such as a neurologist or physiatrist. The dose and frequency of injections may vary depending on the severity of the patient’s symptoms.

Neurobloc is generally well-tolerated, with most side effects being mild and temporary. Common side effects include injection site reactions, such as pain or bruising, and flu-like symptoms. Serious complications are rare but can include allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, or muscle weakness.
