Accreditation Statement
PharmAdura, LLC is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Statement of Need
Increasing physician experience with botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection has resulted in improved outcomes, which in turn have prompted increased patient expectations and the desire for expansion of treatment to a wider variety of areas. The healthcare trend towards patient individualization as a mechanism for outcome optimization has encouraged innovations in injection technique based on anatomy of the muscle groups underlying each area. As new injectable neurotoxins move toward approval, confusion regarding the differences and similarities of available agents with regard to efficacy, dosing, safety, and technique is inevitable.
Credit Designation Statement
PharmAdura, LLC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Release date: June 29, 2009
