Dysport may prove to be no cheaper than Botox

With the announcement that Dysport received FDA approval a few weeks ago, I have been hoping that the price point would be significantly less.  Botox is around $450 for a 100 Unit vial.  Dysport is around the same price for a 300 Unit vial.  Dysport is around 1/3 the price per unit.  However, Dysport is approximately 1/3 as potent as Botox.  So the cost to the consumer looks like it will be roughly the same.
