BOTOX INJURY ATTORNEYS

THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED & THE DEDICATION YOU DESERVE

For decades, Botox has been best known as a means to cosmetically remove fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. Botox is a deadly neurotoxin that has also been promoted for unapproved uses in adult patients, such as treating excessive sweating, migraines, muscular disorders, and some bladder and bowel disorders.

In 2017, Botox generated nearly $3.2 billion in revenue worldwide for its parent company Allegran, with more than half of that revenue coming from therapeutic rather than cosmetic uses. Analysts project that non-cosmetic revenue is likely to balloon in the years ahead as doctors try out Botox for even more off-label uses and as Allergan encourages those alternatives.

One treatment being explored by some doctors is the use of Botox to treat migraine sufferers under the age of 18. Despite some positive results being reported, there are also reports of debilitating side effects, ranging from muscle weakness and double vision to serious neurological conditions, such as Dysautonomia.

The attorneys at Potts Law Firm are reviewing these reports and the possibility of bringing litigation on behalf of victims and their families for emotional, physical, and financial damages. If your child has been treated with Botox and suffered any significant side effects, the attorneys at Potts Law Firm are available and interested in discussing your case.
