Botox for USA<\/h3>\n

Botox <\/a>is supplied differently in each country. \u00a0I am only familiar with how it is supplied in the\u00a0USA. \u00a0Specifically, I’m familiar with how I receive it in my Botox Practice in Modesto, California, USA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Botox<\/a>

I receive Botox <\/a>as either a 50U or 100U vial. \u00a0It is sold by Allergan<\/a>\u00a0(who also supplies Juvederm<\/a>), but can also be purchased by several other medical distributors such as McKesson <\/a>or\u00a0Moore Medical<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Botox<\/a>
Botox purchased from a Moore Medical Catalog in 2014. \u00a0It says $690 for a 100U vial and $497 for a 50U vial.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From my experience, the 50U Botox vial costs more than half of the Botox 100U vial. \u00a0That makes some sense because of excess packaging costs and requirements.<\/p>\n

It is shipped in Styrofoam containers on dry ice, and usually I receive it the next day after I’ve ordered the product. \u00a0And I order directly from Allergan, USA.<\/p>\n

Botox Powder<\/h3>\n

The Botox arrives as dry powder vacuum sealed within the vial. \u00a0The Botox powder is very fine and it almost looks like a completely empty vial except for some fine Botox dust lining the bottom of the vial.<\/p>\n

Once obtained in the office, we immediately place it in our specially designated Botox refridgerator which is temperature monitored.<\/p>\n

Side Notes:<\/h5>\n

Please consult your own physician about any of the topics above. \u00a0 Here’s a listing of about 40 places to get Botox in Modesto<\/a>. \u00a0The general public cannot purchase Botox for any of the suppliers mentioned above.<\/p>\n
