Abstract

Long-term BoNT treatment administration has been assessed in various treatment settings (especially in neurology), with the level and duration of BoNT efficacy response being maintained with no major safety problems. Most side effects are local one and are transient. The incidence of antibody development is low and does not induce significant concerns in clinical practice.
