A new use for botox
A new use for botox has been approved in Canada.
The application refers to patients who have bladder problems caused by spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
Those problems right now are managed with medication or with a catheter to empty the bladder.
A botox injection treats the problem by relaxing the bladder muscles and allowing more space for urine storage.
Botox is already approved for a half-dozen uses, most famously for removing wrinkles.
