Excerpt: The instant facelift with a fatal flaw In this excessive and indiscriminate use of the Botox drug that could now spell the end of the good times for producers Allergan, for the powerful FDAis losing its patience and is to issue a report in December which is expected to warn that the cosmetic use of Botox is inherently dangerous, wherever it is administered. The potentially devasting report will contain submissions by worried medics and consumers. And the criticism will go beyond concerns about the controls on the drug,likely to call into serious question whether it should be used for cosmetic purposes at all. The rise of Botox has been meteoric, taking Allergan from a small California-based spot cream company to a world leader in its field. A Wall Street pharmaceutical analyst who has knowledge of what the report is likely to contain said:"With success follows trouble and I fear Allergan bubble could be about to burst. The FDA had been on them for some time and this report could signal the end of the dream." IF YOU ARE SUFFERING SIDE EFFECTS FROM BOTOX PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE FDA WEBSITE OR CALL THEM AT THEIR T0LL-FREE # LISTED THERE. THEY CONTINUE TO COLLECT DATA!
