Botox vs Brand X: In the War on Wrinkles, Who Will Reign Supreme?
from Cosmetic Surgery Times
The stage is set — finally, some would say — for a rival to compete with Botox Cosmetic in the botulinum-toxin aesthetic-drug market. The FDA recently announced that it is reviewing Reloxin, a botulinum-toxin anti-wrinkle injectable to which Scottsdale-based Medicis Pharmaceutical has the U.S. rights, for approval domestically.
