What is INNOTOX ?

INNOTOX is a Clostridium botulinum toxin type A (Hall strain), which was developed in South Korea by Medytox Inc in 2014. Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has approved to sell INNOTOX 100 units, Medytox liquid-type botulinum toxin (BTX) A-Type product, in the domestic market.

With the approval, Medytox has secured a lineup of various capacities, along with the existing 25 and 50 units, and increased the capacity utilization rate of its second plant, which exclusively manufactures BTX products under U.S. current good manufacturing practice guidelines.

INNOTOX is the world’s first liquid botulinum toxin type A drug. Enhances safety by eliminating human serum albumin and animal-derived substances in the manufacturing process. The BTX comes out in a liquid-type formulation and can be used immediately without a separate dilution process, further improving the convenience of treatment and having the advantage of more accurate treatment capacity calculation, Medytox said.
