Xeomin: Q&A
Ask a Question
Is Xeomin Being Marketed and Available Yet?
I remember last March there was an injunction to stop Merz from marketing Xeomin. From what I understood that was suppose to last 10 months, so I keep expecting to see a splash of advertising for Xeomin this month but have yet to hear anything. Does anyone know what is going on with it, and when it will be available? I love Botox but feel it is too costly, and welcome an alternative.

Xeomin is now available in Boston
Yes, our sales representative has informed us that Xeomin, a botulism toxin is now being marketed to the public as an alternative to Botox and Dysport. I would expect the effects of Xeomin to last the same amount of time as the other brands of botulinum toxin.

Xeomin Makes An Excellent Alternative For Botox Resistant Persons
Xeomin has indeed been available for some time, however, it's only approved indication was for medical, rather than aesthetic purposes--analogous to the old days with Botox when it, too, was approved first only for certain opthalmologic and neurologic indications. The delay in the introduction of Xeomin, to my understanding, was simply the manufacturer's limitation to marketing it for its aesthetic uses.
With three neuromodulators now available, it is probable worthwhile to take this...

Xeomin Alternative to Botox.
Hi anon. If you are looking for an alternative to Botox, we would look no further than Dysport. Although Xeomin is available, it takes more of the product to get the same duration as Botox, which defeats the purpose of any lower per unit cost.
We use Dysport, are able to price it lower than Botox and because we can provide more equivalent units at a lower cost than Botox, we get as good or better duration than Botox.

Is Xeomin available yet?
Xeomin technically never left the market, but Merz wasn't able to advertise it publicly and only physicians who had already had Merz accounts were able to order and use Xeomin. The injunction has been lifted, but it will be some time before a full-blown marketing front will probably happen, hence you haven't seen much mention yet. At this time, I don't think it's a preferable product to Botox or Dysport, other than the price point, because the product seems to definitely not last as long on...

Xeomin is back on the market
Yes, Xeomin is back on the market. It actually never left the market, just that the company cannot promote to the public. It's always been available in my office for patients who prefer Xeomin over Botox.

Xeomin in the United States
I have just heard this week that Xeomin is back on the market and available to purchase at any time so this is good news. Hopefully the lower price will cause downward pressure on the market and we will see lower prices for all the neurotoxins.

Xeomin and another botox alternative dysport are available. However, botox is still the preferred choice of a vast majority of patients.

Xeomin availability
Xeomin is available in Canada for the past 6 or so months and we have used it with great results. It seems to have similar effects to Botox, but starts working quicker. Unfortunately its not any cheaper, and the duration of effect is really not any longer.

Xeomin and its availabilty
I also have positive expereience with xeomin and looking forward to see its return to the market. Good number of my patients are also asking the same questions. We are being told, by the Merz's rep., that xeomin is going to become available this spring.

Xeomin availability
Xeomin has always been available but the manufacturer was barred from advertising it. it is less expensive than Botox but doesn't last as long so I do not consider it worth stocking in my office. In the end, there isn't cost efficacy if you have to have more frequent treatments.
