Summary

This Phase 3 study tested whether injections of MYOBLOC (a botulinum toxin type B) into the salivary glands can safely reduce troublesome drooling in adults. 187 participants received either MYOBLOC or a placebo. The main goals were to measure changes in saliva flow and overall improvement at 4 weeks. Results showed that MYOBLOC effectively decreased saliva production and improved symptoms compared to placebo.
