AbobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport), also called botulinum toxin type A, is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.

Dysport is used to treat cervical dystonia (severe spasms in the neck muscles). Dysport is also used to treat muscle spasms (stiffness) in the upper limbs (elbows, wrists, fingers) or lower limbs (ankles, toes).

Dysport is also used to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Conivaptan injection is used to treat euvolemic hyponatremia (a condition where there is not enough sodium in your blood but with a normal blood volume). Sodium is a chemical that the body needs to be able to function well. Even if there is a normal blood volume, but with a low sodium level, it can still be a danger to your health. Conivaptan works by maintaining the right amount of sodium that the body needs.

Conivaptan is to be given only by or under the supervision of your doctor.
