Dysport has been available since April of 2009
Dysport has been available since April of 2009. But has been used in other countries for much longer and has a proven safety record. I have been using this in my office since April of 2009 as well. General differences are that Dysport acts quicker getting max affects in around 4-5 days, while botox takes about a 1 1/2 -2 weeks. They generally last about the same time around 3-4 months. Although Dysport has been approved by the FDA to last 4 months and Botox 3 months, I...

Is Dysport or Reloxin available in the US?
Dysport (Reloxin in Europe), the alternative to Botox, has been available in the United States since April of 2009. I've used it overseas since 2006 and teach other physicians on its use. We're conducting a large study comparing the effects of Botox to Dysport, and preliminary results show Dysport has a quicker onset and may last longer in the crow's feet.

Dysport is available now (and has been since 2009)
It's the same as Reloxin--the company wasn't allowed to keep the Reloxin name (FDA issues), so the approval is under the name Dysport. It works great, but there are some nuances between it and Botox, so look for someone who has been using it a lot.

Dysport widely used in the US
Dysport has been available in the US now for some time. It is currently widely used because the product has been priced aggressively to compete with Botox. These products are both neurotoxins but they are not the same. I use both but have found that Botox works better in the forehead as Dysport seems to spread more widely. Dysport might take effect faster but I find the duration of effect to be longer with Botox. These medications are not interchangeable and the amount of neurotoxin (units)...

Dysport available now
I have been using Dysport for the previous year. Some patients who have had botox like it better and some prefer the botox better. I find it tends to have a faster onset but a slightly shorter lasting effect. In some patients where botox doesnt work, dysport has worked.

Dysport now available in the United States
Dysport is a close relative of Botox that is now available in the United States. In clinical studies, it has shown to have a faster onset of action than Botox and lasts a little bit longer. The amount of Dysport used is slightly different than the amount of Botox per area. For great results, work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience with fillers, Botox and the new Dysport.

Dysport is available
Dysport was approved in April 2009. It has been used in Europe for about 10 years with an excellent safety and efficacy profile. we are excited to have it available to our patients and it is less expensive than Botox while working faster and lasting at least as long. As an experienced injector for many years I have seen products come and go (bovine collagen, human collagen, weaker hyaluronic acids) but this seems to be a product that has its advantages over botox and a less expensive. ...

Hoping for July 2009
Since Dysport was FDA approved yesterday, we are expecting it to be available within 2 months so around July or August of 2009.
By the way, Reloxin and Dysport are the same thing. Apparently the company has decided to stick with the name Dysport for both the cosmetic and non-cosmetic trade names of the medicine.

Reloxin (Dysport) was fda approved April 30th
Reloxin (Dysport in Europe) was approved by the FDA today April 30. Usually, a company will be sure of full distribution before they begin to make it available.
They do not want to favor one group of physicians over another and they want all willing and able physicians to be trained so their product does not look bad.
Since Reloxin will be a little tricky for some of us to use, now that we have gotten so used to Botox, this training is essential to avoid complications.
