One June 24, Allergan received US FDA approval for their in vitro test for the safety and potency of Botox and Botox Cosmetic. This in vitro assay will replace the use of the LD50 test here in the US for each lot or batch of the botox products. It is hoped that total animal testing on the products can be reduced by 95% as additional agencies accept Allergan's new assay. Please take a look at the AltTox forum posting on the topic or in the news link above for Allergan's press release.
