Very Brief Blog: MAC CAC on BOTULINUM

 While we think of botulinum toxin first for cosmetic uses, it has a range of medical useless as well, such as in neuromuscular conditions.  E.g. blepharospasm.  An example of a MAC LCD is here.

The several MACs, all of them, have a "multi jurisdictional" CAC or public expert advisors meeting on botulinum, coming up on Thusday, October 19.  

FCSO link here (entry point).

NGS MAC runs the show here.

A 17-page background and question list is here:
