Abstract
This invention relates to a method for controlled administration of chemodernervating agents such as botulinum toxin-derived pharmaceutical, useful in attenuating neural stimulation and spasmotic activity of muscle. The method involves administration of novel dosage forms based upon the standardization of denervating pharmaceuticals. The invention also relates to novel methods of administering chemodernervating agents in a controlled and reproducible manner so as to confine their effects to a given region of muscle mass while minimizing paresis in adjacent muscle tissue.
