Take A Step Forward Towards Less Drooling

The first and only FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A indicated for chronic sialorrhea

People May Not Understand What It’s Like Living With Chronic Drooling.

Sialorrhea is the medical term for drooling. It is a common symptom of certain neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, stroke, or cerebral palsy.

“It’s embarrassing being in public. People just stare at me while I’m drooling.”

Up to 75% of people with Parkinson’s disease EXPERIENCE CHRONIC DROOLING1

Some Patients with Drooling Experience:

Difficulty Speaking | Difficulty Eating | Mouth Irritations | Oral Hygiene Issues | Lung Infections

What Is XEOMIN?

XEOMIN is an FDA-approved prescription medication that is used to treat drooling. XEOMIN is a botulinum toxin type A, which helps to decrease activity of the glands responsible for saliva production.

The safety and efficacy of XEOMIN has been demonstrated in medical studies, and XEOMIN has been used in 6.5 million patients with various conditions, from more than 75 countries, for more than 12 years.

Designed For Purity, XEOMIN Has Only The Ingredients It Needs To Deliver Results 

XEOMIN is uniquely purified to contain only the therapeutic component. It utilizes XTRACT technology, a state-of-the-art manufacturing process that removes unnecessary proteins.*

that removes the unnecessary proteins
Leaving just the active therapeutic component†

*Repeated exposure to neurotoxins with complexing proteins may cause a treatment to not work as well as it once did. XEOMIN does not contain unnecessary proteins that, over time, may increase the risk of losing effectiveness. It is possible with all neurotoxins, including XEOMIN, to lose effectiveness. 

†The direct impact of the non-therapeutic proteins on long term safety or efficacy has not been established.  Information about the unique XEOMIN manufacturing process and the properties of incobotulinumtoxinA is not intended to imply superiority over other botulinum toxins.

How Does XEOMIN Work?

XEOMIN works by blocking the signals your brain sends to your saliva glands, so that you don’t produce as much saliva.

It is an injection that is administered in your doctor’s office.

Typically XEOMIN Starts Working in About One Week and the Effects Can Last Up to 4 months.

What You Can Expect From XEOMIN

  1. Reduced Saliva Production
  2. Decreased Drooling
  3. Effects that May Last Up to 4 months

As with any medication, XEOMIN does come with some potential risks. The most common side effects observed in clinical trials in adults were:

  • Tooth extraction (5%)
  • Dry mouth (4%)
  • Diarrhea (4%)
  • High blood pressure (4%)

It is important to speak with your healthcare provider about any potential risks associated with XEOMIN and to report any side effects you may experience.

Not an actual patient. Individual results may vary.

How Is XEOMIN Administered?

Your doctor:

  • will inject XEOMIN into your salivary glands (which produce saliva), typically two on each side of your face
  • may use an ultrasound to locate these glands
  • will determine how much XEOMIN to inject based on  your needs

XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA)
  • XEOMIN may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing can happen within hours to weeks after an injection of XEOMIN if the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with XEOMIN.
    • People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe and may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with XEOMIN.
    • Swallowing problems may last for several months, and during that time you may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving XEOMIN have the highest risk of getting these problems.
  • Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing.

These symptoms can happen hours to weeks after you receive an injection of XEOMIN. These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car or do other dangerous activities.

What is XEOMIN?

XEOMIN is a prescription medicine:

  • that is injected into glands that make saliva and is used to treat long-lasting (chronic) drooling (sialorrhea) in adults and in children 2 years of age or older.
  • that is injected into muscles and used to:
    • treat increased muscle stiffness in the arm because of upper limb spasticity in adults.
    • treat increased muscle stiffness in the arm in children 2 to 17 years of age with upper limb spasticity, excluding spasticity caused by cerebral palsy.
    • treat the abnormal head position and neck pain with cervical dystonia (CD) in adults.
    • treat abnormal spasm of the eyelids (blepharospasm) in adults.

It is not known if XEOMIN is safe and effective in children younger than:

  • 2 years of age for the treatment of chronic sialorrhea
  • 2 years of age for the treatment of upper limb spasticity
  • 18 years of age for the treatment of cervical dystonia or blepharospasm

Do not take XEOMIN if you: are allergic to XEOMIN or any of the ingredients in XEOMIN (botulinum toxin type A, human albumin, and sucrose), had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product, or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.

Before receiving XEOMIN, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease], myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome)
  • have had any side effect from any other botulinum toxin in the past
  • have a breathing problem, such as asthma or emphysema
  • have a history of swallowing problems or inhaling food or fluid into your lungs (aspiration)
  • have drooping eyelids
  • have had eye surgery
  • have had surgery on your face
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if XEOMIN can harm your unborn baby.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if XEOMIN passes into breast milk.

Using XEOMIN with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received XEOMIN in the past.

Especially tell your doctor if you:

  • have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months
  • have received injections of botulinum toxin in the past. Be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received. The dose of XEOMIN may be different from other botulinum toxin products that you have received.
  • have recently received an antibiotic by injection or inhalation
  • take muscle relaxants
  • take an allergy or cold medicine
  • take a sleep medicine
What should I avoid while taking XEOMIN?

XEOMIN may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, blurred vision, or drooping eyelids within hours to weeks of taking XEOMIN. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.

What are the possible Side Effects of XEOMIN?

XEOMIN can cause serious side effects including:

  • Injury to the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) in people treated for blepharospasm. People who receive XEOMIN to treat spasm of the eyelid may have reduced blinking that can cause a sore on their cornea or other problems of the cornea. Call your healthcare provider or get medical care right away if you have eye pain or irritation after treatment with XEOMIN.
  • XEOMIN may cause other serious side effects including allergic reactions. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to XEOMIN may include: itching, rash, redness, swelling, wheezing, trouble breathing, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you get wheezing or trouble breathing, or if you get dizzy or faint.
