Disclosed are a liquid product of botulinum toxin type A and a method for conserving the potency of botulinum toxin type A using a dextrose solution. Free of a stabilizer, such as albumin or gelatin, the liquid product of botulinum toxin type A completely excludes the possibility of cross infections such as AIDS and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. In addition, botulinum toxin type A is preserved as a liquid product in combination with a dextrose solution and can be clinically used as is, without the aid of physiological saline. Therefore, the liquid product enjoys the advantage of being convenient for use and avoiding a decrease in the potency as occurs upon dilution with physiological saline. Serving as a natural preserving and stabilizing agent, the dextrose solution allows botulinum toxin type A to be stored and distributed in the form of liquid phase over a long period of time and conserves the potency of the toxin at a constant level, which in turn guarantees constant clinical results. |
