I have an older friend who had Guillain-Barré and wants to get Botox. If this is unsafe, what are his other options?
Answer: Say no to BOTOX if you had Gillian-Barré The simple answer is NO! Allergan clearly places on it's product labeling that BOTOX certain neuromuscular diseases. Gillian-Barré is one of the diseases on that list. Hope this helpful. Dr. ES

Answer: Botox is UNsafe for patient who had Guillain-Barré Botox treatments are strictly contraindicated in patients with neuromuscular disorders. Guillian Barre syndrome is a disease that affects the neuromuscular system. It can be worsened by Botox. Your friend might benefit from fillers. They can be safely used in Guillian Barre patients. Good luck!

Answer: Botox and Guillain-Barre I would not treat a patient who has a diagnosis of Guillain Barre. There might be a neurologic disease that could safely have the treatment with Botox, such as some cases with multiple sclerosis if the treating neurologist approves the low dose skin use of the botulinum toxin. It must be a team approach of the injecting physician and neurologist discussing the patient care.

Answer: Botox is specifically not recommended. Guillain-barre is one of the specific neuromuscular conditions where Botox should not be done. However there is a big difference between Gillain-Barre that is active versus resolved. Your friend should discuss her current status with her neurologist regard her current status.
