Botulinum
Toxin (Botox) is a drug
made from the bacterium known as Clostridia Botulinum. This is actually a
toxin produced by this bacterium which causes muscle paralysis. Used in a diluted
dose, this toxin can be useful for certain disorders. Botox injections reduce
the tight, squeezed phonation and disruption of voice breaks caused by spasmodic
dysphonia.
