Myobloc May Cause Serious Side Effects That Can Be Life Threatening. Call Your Doctor Or Get Medical Help Right Away If You Have Any Of These Problems After Treatment With Myobloc: 

  • Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These problems can happen hours to weeks after an injection of MYOBLOCif the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak after the injection. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with MYOBLOC.
    • People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe. These people may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with MYOBLOC.
    • Swallowing problems may last for several months. People who cannot swallow well may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving MYOBLOC have the highest risk of getting these problems.

  • loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body

  • blurred vision and drooping eyelids
  • hoarseness or change or loss of voice (dysphonia)
  • trouble saying words clearly (dysarthria)

  • trouble breathing
  • trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
