What Risks do I Face Using Dysport for Excessive Underarm Sweating?
15 days ago I got Dysport treatment for excessive sweating. I got cough, flu-like symptoms, dry eyes which now are gone. How will come out botulism if treating underarm sweating? My doctor said that if botulism occurs- FIRSTLY it paralyses underarm muscles. Is it true? I don't feel any other simptoms classified to botulism such as swelling, muscle paralysis, double vision etc. I just feel extremely dry eyes. Is it possible I got botulism? Ophtalmologist says I have no problems with my eyes.

Sick after Dysport
I think that the timing is a coincidence and something else is going on. Dysport for hyperhidrosis should not have systemic effects, certainly not botulism.

Dysport for Underarm Sweating
There really are no appreciable risks associated with Dysport for excessive sweating under your arms. It is very safe. It will not paralyze your muscles there. It will inhibit sweat production. Flu like symptoms have been reported with neurotoxins, but it is a very rare side effect. True Botulism has not been associated with Botox or Dysport when used in this manner.

Well technically, these symptoms are botulism.
Botulism is poisoning caused by the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium boulinum. There are 7 identified serotypes of this toxin. The one we are the most familiar with is botulinum toxin A, which is the serotype that is in BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin. These are highly purified products. There are no bacteria, just the toxin in these products and not very much at that. It is the purity of the product and the very low dose that makes this a very safe...

Very few risks with a good injector
Dysport and Botox are botulinum toxins. They are not botulism. These are not the same things. It would be like saying penicillin is made directly from mold. It's just not true. You don't have botulism. You probably have the flu, or allergies, it seems to me. I've injected thousands of vials of Dysport and not one person has had anything like you are describing.
