Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions that are frequently seen in the neurology clinic. In this article, Lim and Seet provide an overview of the mechanisms of action of BoNT and its use in the treatment of conditions such as dystonia, spasticity, essential tremor, hemifacial spasm and headaches. Important practical considerations, such as the reconstitution of BoNT, dosing, and methods of administration, are also reviewed.
