FDA Black Box Warning
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT The effects of all botulinum toxin products, including LETYBO, may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. LETYBO is not approved for the treatment of spasticity or any conditions other than glabellar lines [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS LETYBO is contraindicated in: Patients with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the LETYBO formulation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . The presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s). Known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the LETYBO formulation ( 4 ) Infection at the injection site ( 4 ) 4.1 Known Hypersensitivity to Botulinum Toxin BRANDNAME is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. 4.2 Infection at the Injection Site(s) BRANDNAME is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s).
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from case reports with LETYBO use in pregnant women are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Systemic exposure following intramuscular injection of letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg was not assessed [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . In an animal reproduction study, intramuscular administration of letibotulinumtoxinA‑wlbg to rats during pregnancy resulted in adverse effects on fetal growth (decreased fetal body weight and skeletal ossification) at maternally toxic doses 3 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (see Data) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data An embryofetal development study was conducted in rats with letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg. For comparison of animal to human doses based on a body weight comparison, the MRHD is set at 20 Units/subject (0.34 Units/kg for an average 60 kg subject). Administration to pregnant rats once daily during organogenesis (gestation days 5 to 16) caused decreased fetal body weight and decreased fetal skeletal ossification at doses ≥1 Unit/kg (3 times the MRHD. These treatment related effects were associated with maternal toxicity.
