6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Chronic Sialorrhea Chronic Sialorrhea in Adult Patients Table 6 lists the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥3% of XEOMIN-treated patients in the double-blind, placebo-controlled phase of the study in adult patients with chronic sialorrhea [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
The most common adverse reactions (≥4%) were tooth extraction, dry mouth, diarrhea, and hypertension.
In the controlled portion of this study, 74 patients received 100 Units of XEOMIN, and 36 patients received placebo.
XEOMIN-treated patients were 21-80 years old (mean 65 years), and were predominantly male (71%) and White (99.5%).

Thirty-five patients 2-5 years of age received an open-label dose of XEOMIN according to body weight.
XEOMIN-treated patients were 2-17 years of age (mean 10 years), predominately male (63%) and White (100%).

In the open-label extension period, 222 patients 2-17 years of age received up to three additional treatments with XEOMIN every 16±2 weeks.
The safety profile of XEOMIN during the open-label extension period was similar to that observed in the double-blind phase of the placebo-controlled pediatric chronic sialorrhea study.
Upper Limb Spasticity Upper Limb Spasticity in Adult Patients Table 8 lists the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥2% of XEOMIN-treated patients in two placebo-controlled studies in adult patients with upper limb spasticity.

In the two repeated dose upper facial lines (GL, HFL, and LCL) trials with up to three treatments of XEOMIN, adverse reactions were reported for 123 of the 720 subjects (17%).
Injection site hematoma was the most common adverse reaction, reported in 8% of subjects, followed by headache (3%), injection site bruising (3%) and brow ptosis (1%).
The incidence of these adverse reactions tended to decrease with subsequent treatments.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been reported during post-approval use of XEOMIN.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: allergic dermatitis, dysarthria, dysphagia, eye swelling, eyelid edema, flu-like symptoms, herpes zoster, hypersensitivity, injection site pain, injection site reaction, localized allergic reactions (e.g., swelling, edema, erythema, pruritus or rash), muscle spasm, muscular weakness, myalgia, nausea, and persistent dry mouth (> 110 days).
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
