+30 YEARS' GLOBAL EXPERIENCE ACROSS MULTIPLE INDICATIONS1-4

UROLOGY

BOTOX® is indicated for the management of bladder dysfunctions in adult patients who are not adequately managed with anticholinergics: overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency.5

BOTOX®: For treating OAB5

BOTOX® demonstrates significant and sustained improvements for OAB patients5-7

Week 12 co-primary endpoint results:

BOTOX® demonstrated significant reductions from baseline in daily UI episodes compared with placebo (-2.74 vs -0.95; p<0.001 vs placebo).5

Significantly greater proportion of BOTOX® patients achieved a positive response on the TBS compared to placebo (61.8% vs 28.0%; p<0.001 vs placebo).7

Study context: Two double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, 24-week phase 3 clinical studies were conducted in 1105 patients with overactive bladder, with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency, whose symptoms had not been adequately managed with at least one anticholinergic therapy. To evaluate the impact of efficacy, safety and health-related quality of life of BOTOX® in patients with OAB with UI. Patients were randomised to receive either 100U of BOTOX® (n=557) or placebo (n=548). Mean baseline for daily UI episodes: BOTOX® 100U 5.49/day, placebo 5.39/day. Mean baseline for daily urgency episodes: BOTOX® 100U 8.82/day, placebo 8.31/day.5


3 reasons to trust BOTOX® in your OAB patients

Over 3.5 years of continued BOTOX® treatment, durable improvements were seen in OAB symptoms and quality of life6

BOTOX® provides sustained reduction in daily episodes of UI and urgency for up to 6 cycles of treatment from baseline*6

BOTOX® is generally well tolerated in OAB with CIC rates that are low and generally transient5,7

 

Safety and tolerability experience from +30 years of use in a range of conditions2-4,8,9

*By comparison to placebo (p<0.001).5


CIC: clean intermittent catheterisation; OAB: overactive bladder; TBS: treatment benefit scale; UI: urinary incontinence.
