Page 4: MEDICATION GUIDE for BOTOX®/XEOMIN® and MYOBLOC® · 2020. 5. 29. · The possible side effects of Botox/Xeomin/Myobloc include but are not limited to: 1. Risks: I understand there

BOTOX (Botulinum A Toxin)/MYOBOC (Botulinum B Toxin)/ Xeomin (Botulinum A Toxin)

INFORMED CONSENT FORM

I, _______________________________________, understand that I will be

injected with Botulinum A Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) or Botulinum B (Myobloc) in the

area of the _______________________________________ muscles to paralyze

these muscles temporarily in an effort to provide pain relief.

Botulinum A Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) and Botulinum B (Myobloc) injections have been

FDA approved for use in treatment of musculoskeletal issues, pain and headaches.

Injection of Botox, Xeomin or Myobloc into muscles causes those specific muscles to

halt their function (be paralyzed), thereby helping to decrease and/or eliminate pain and

improve function. I understand the goal is to decrease pain and restriction or

dysfunction in the treated area. This paralysis is temporary, and re-injection is

necessary within three to four months. It has been explained to me that other temporary

and more permanent treatments are available.

The possible side effects of Botox/Xeomin/Myobloc include but are not limited to:

1. Risks: I understand there is a risk of swelling, rash, headache, local

numbness, pain at the injection site, bruising, respiratory problems,

and allergic reaction.

2. Infection: Infections can occur which in most cases are easily treatable but

in rare cases a permanent scarring in the area can occur.

3. Most people have lightly swollen pinkish bumps where the injections went

in, for a couple of hours or even several days.

4. Although many people with chronic headaches or migraines often get relief

from Botox/Xeomin/Myobloc, a small percent of patients get headaches

following treatment, for the first day. In a very small percentage of patients

these headaches can persist for several days or weeks.

5. Local numbness, rash, pain at the injection site, flu like symptoms with mild

fever, back pain.

6. Respiratory problems such as bronchitis or sinusitis, nausea, dizziness, and

tightness or irritation of the skin.

7. Bruising is possible anytime you inject a needle into the skin. This bruising

can last for several hours, days, weeks, months and in rare cases the effect

of bruising could be permanent.

8. While local weakness of the injected muscles is representative of the

expected pharmacological action of Botox, weakness of adjacent muscles

may occur as a result of the spread of the toxin.

9. Treatments: I understand more than one injection may be needed to

achieve a satisfactory result.

10. I will follow all aftercare instructions as it is crucial I do so for healing.

As Botox, Xeomin and Myobloc are not exact sciences, there might be an uneven

appearance with some muscles more affected by the Botox than others. In most cases

this uneven appearance can be corrected by injecting Botox in the same or nearby

muscles. However in some cases this uneven appearance can persist for several weeks

or months.

This list is not meant to be inclusive of all possible risks associated with Botox/Myobloc

as there are both known and unknown side effects associated with any medication or

procedure.

Botox, Xeomin and Myobloc should not be administered to a pregnant or nursing

woman.

Additionally, the number of units injected is an estimate of the amount of

Botox/Xeomin/Myobloc required to paralyze the muscles. I understand there is no

guarantee of results of any treatment. I understand the regular charge applies to all

subsequent treatments.

I understand and agree that all services rendered to me are charged directly to me and

that I am personally responsible for payment. I further agree in the event of non-

payment, to bear the cost of collection, and/or Court cost and reasonable legal fees,

should this be required.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read the foregoing informed consent,

and that I was offered the Medication Guide for Botox, Xeomin or Myobloc to

review, and agree to the treatment with its associated risks. I hereby give consent to

perform this and all subsequent Botox/Xeomin/Myobloc treatments with the above

understood. I hereby release the doctor, the person injecting the Botox/Xeomin/Myobloc

and the facility from liability associated with this procedure.

In Office Visit During COVID Patient Authorization and Consent Form

1. During the COVlD-19 pandemic, there is some increased risk for patients who visit a healthcare provider. Health problems can happen from being exposed to:

• other patients,

• healthcare staff

• healthcare facilities.

2. Some patients have a higher risk of complications from COVID-19, including those with:

• asthma,

• chronic lung disease,

• serious heart disease or problems,

• chronic kidney disease,

• extreme obesity,

• a compromised or suppressed immune system,

• liver disease,

• pregnant,

• age 65 or older

• nursing home or long-term care facility residents.

If these high-risk patients get COVID-19, they may have a greater chance for having more health problems. These may be serious. Patients may need to be in the hospital. They could even die.

3. There are other evaluation and treatment options to meet with your doctor/clinician and be treated. You could have:

• a phone evaluation/visit or

• a telemedicine evaluation/visit.

These other options may or may not be right for you. This depends on your health problem and overall health. If remote assessment and treatment are not appropriate, your doctor will explain why you need an in-person visit.

4. Medical and office staff may help your doctor when you arrive and while you are evaluated and treated. They will follow state laws and recommendations from local, state, and national health officials related to caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they cannot eliminate risks, especially for high-risk patients.

Consent to Treatment

This consent form has told you about COVlD-related risks. If, after reviewing this form, you do not believe that you really understand the risks and choices, do not sign the form until all questions have been answered.

I understand the facts provided to me on this consent form. I give my consent for in-office evaluation and treatment. By signing below, I agree that the COVA staff/doctor has discussed the facts in this form with me, that no one has given me any guarantee, that I have had a chance to ask questions, and that all of my questions have been answered.
