Stop Testing Botox on Animals

I was shocked to learn that your company conducts cruel animal experiments for the batch testing of your products BOTOX, BOTOX Cosmetics and VISTABEL.

As you know, for the LD50 test, groups of animals are injected with different doses of Botox in the abdomen. They are subjected to terrible pain. They suffer from paralysis, impaired vision and respiratory distress. After up to three or four days of suffering they finally die of suffocation.

Although the European Pharmacopoeia lists this test for every batch of botulinum toxin, there is an alternative test that does not use live animals which is allowed. It is in your hands to use this alternative method.
