American ophthalmologist Alan Scott, who first developed and used the drug Botox for medical purposes, died at the age of 89 years. It is reported by Washington Post.
According to the newspaper, the doctor died on Thursday, December 16, in the California Hospital Greenbrae, but the reports of his death were received only now. According to Daughter Scott Alison Ferguson (Alison Ferguson), the cause of the deaths became complications caused by sepsis.
The botulinum toxin substance was obtained during the Second World War and was used as a biological weapon that caused the paralysis of the muscles. Toxin samples were transferred to Scott, and on their base it created Botoks.
Sanitary oversight management and US drug quality (FDA) approved the use of Botox for cosmetics purposes in 2002. As the publication writes, it was greatly surprised by Scott. To date, the injection of Botox for smoothing wrinkles made 11 million people.
