Indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate-to-severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat (ie, double chin) in adults

Injected into subcutaneous fat tissue in the submental area using an area-adjusted dose of 2 mg/cm²

Dosing Considerations

Safe and effective use for the treatment of subcutaneous fat outside the submental region has not been established and is not recommended

Dose modifications

Geriatric: Dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy
