The FDA said signs of the bogus Botox include:
— Lot No. C3709C3 on the bottle and box.
— Declaration of 150-unit doses on the bottle and/or box. The FDA says neither AbbVie nor Allergan makes 150-unit doses.
— The active ingredient for Botox should be “OnabotulinumtoxinA.” On the boxes for fake Botox, it’s “Botulinum Toxin Type A.” instead of “OnabotulinumtoxinA.”
— The box “contains language that is not English.”
What you should do?
Get Botox shots from a licensed professional in a medical office or setting and make sure it’s really Botox.
