Cosmetic Treatment Results in Birth Defects

December 31st, 2008 meg

The Federal Health and Ageing Department in Australia have revealed that use of a cosmetic treatment has resulted in birth defects.

The mother was given Dysport in her first week of pregnancy.

The baby was born deaf and blind.

Dysport, Myobloc and Botox are botulinum type A toxin drugs used as cosmetic treatments.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified the public that the most common side effects of the drugs are temporary facial paralysis, visual disturbances, fatigue, dizziness, difficulty swallowing, hallucinations, anxiety, respiratory failure, and death.
