Patent ID: 8632786

Claim:
A method for dosing botulinum toxin in a target muscle of humans who are at the extremes of weight distribution curves with high and low body mass comprising the steps of: a) determining the distribution pattern and location of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) in said target muscle b) determining the mass of said target muscle and the absolute amount of botulinum toxin to be used on said target muscle; c) diluting a solvated absolute amount of said botulinum toxin so that dilution of the solution by volume increases in an amount proportionate to the mass of said target muscle as a ratio of said target muscle mass in relation to the mass of another base reference muscle with increasing body weight; d) injecting doses of said diluted botulinum toxin solution within a range of about 1.0 cm to about 3.0 cm of the area of said target muscle containing said neuromuscular junctions.
