How many nano grams are in a 100 unit vial of botox?

This is slightly more complex than it at first appears The active molecule of Botulinum Toxin weighs about 150kDaltons but Botox molecules have complexing proteins around them that come from the bacteria in the manufacturing process so that the Botox molecule weighs about 900kDaltons. The complexing proteins come off after injection so that the active molecule that remains is 150kDalton there are approx 20units botox/nanogram or 5nanogram/100units Botox ie 100 units Botox contains under 1nanogram of active Botulinum Toxin which is about 40million molecules


Why is botox an effective anti-wrinkle treatment Describe its mechanism of action in relation to the neuromuscular junction?

Botox is actually an extremely lethal toxin made by Clostridium botulinum. You may have heard of 'botulism,' a disease that puts the victim in paralysis and eventually leads to death when the paralysis reaches the vital organs. Beginning signs are loss of speech (when the vocal chords lose sensation), followed by loss of movement, and so on and so forth. Botox inhibits acetylcholine, a very important neurotransmitter in the nervous system. Without acetylcholine reaching the neuromuscular junction, the muscle is unable to contract, and hence paralysis occurs. Today botox injections are used to remove wrinkles simply by paralyzing the face. The toxin works for 4-6months, and more injections are necessary. This is why so many jokes are made about ladies with botox being unable to make facial expressions, because they have lost control of their facial muscles!


My body got numb couldn't move or talk?

I cant tell you for sure what the problem was because i don't know you. but i do have a question for you: were you in contact with any chemicals? like Botox. Botox, if not used very carefully and in the correct way and use can cause you to not be able to move. Another reason is, if you used a body lotion with something in it your body was alurgic to or had a problem with, that could also be the case.

What qualifications should someone injecting botox have?

In California, only medical doctors, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners and registered nurses can legally administer Botox (MD, PA, RNP, RN). However, when you are considering who to go to, always find out how experienced the doctor or nurse is with Botox injections and how focused the practice is on aesthetic procedures. A family practioner who does Botox to make extra money would not be high on my list of Botox specialists, for example. I also would not go to a medical spa in a mall or other location where a doctor is rarely present. The nurses injecting may be very good, but the physician medical director of an office that does injections should be closely involved with the office, not in another state (as is the case with some chains of medical spas).


Can pharmacists administer botox?

Florida is a political nightmare. RN's inject morphine and chemo drugs. Botox and dermal fillers should be the Rn's duty. LPN inject botox in other states. It can't kill you like chemo can. Doctors are just greedy for the money. They should stick to surgery. Botox and filler injects is cosmetic. It is not medically necessary. Florida needs to get on board and quit changing the laws for convience of the doctor


I would like to qualify to administer botox?

In most states the Botox requires a prescription so a Dr or at least a Nurse Practioner will need to be in the office. However a RN or Md is not required to actually do the administering. Check with the state Department of medical professional regulation for legal requirements in your state. IN most states a Phlebotomist has the requirements to administer the injection. You can ask a Dr or RN or maybe call the local Nursing school, they MAY know.
