These effects are generally temporary and resolve as the medication's effects wear off.

Dysport may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect muscle activity or nerve function. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
