OCuSOFT, Inc., an ophthalmic research, development and the supply company, has announced that Zytaze is now available in pharmacies as a prescription-only (Rx) supplement. Pharmacies include but are not limited to: Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, Rite Aid and Duane Reade.

In an early pilot study, Zytaze demonstrated marked enhancement of botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm or cosmetic procedures. Formulated with a proprietary, patent-pending blend of highly bio-available, organic zinc and phytase (an enzyme that effectively breaks down phytates and maximizes zinc absorption), Zytaze has been reported to extend the duration of botulinum toxin treatments by almost 25%. For many patients, Zytaze could mean using less toxin, financial savings, greater safety and better, more consistent botulinum toxin results.
