It's similar to Botox but may have some safety advantages, and is the only agent with this indication, so that may make reimbursement easier to obtain.
 
how about its cost ?
 
It should be covered by Medicare same as any other injection you'd get at the doctor's office -- probably an office visit charge + the units of the drug (which bills for about $5/unit). Merz also has an assistance program for people not covered by Medicare/Medicaid in case someone here falls into that category.
