In our pilot issue there was a
disclosure of BTX-A, which was offered in internet as "Chinese Botox".
Meanwhile our Japanese member of the
editorial board - Kitaro Ohmori, MD - has reported that this drug is not
made from human albumin, but from gelatine of unknown source. We are
thankful to Doctor Ohmori who added that this gelatine is not approved in
Japan to be injected inside the muscle.
