Botox Harmful to Liver and Kidneys?

Botox is placed into the muscle that one wants to effect.  It is designed not to travel systemically.  The quantity of Botox even if it does get into the blood stream is very small.  As of this writing, the drug has been used millions of times without reports of kidney or liver damage.

There has been a significant number of research performed on the safety and applications of Botox. Botox has been proven to be extremely safe specially when used within FDA Guide lines. The therapeutic applications of Botox continues to grow as it has become the wonder drug. There are by far more medical therapeutic applications for Botox than cosmetic.

You bring up a valid question, but the answer is no.  Used in the correct manner, Botox should not be harmful to your liver and kidneys.  The FDA has approved the use of Botox and with this approval you can be rest assured that it is safe. 

BOTOX-injected in the usual amounts and locations for cosmetic applications is extremely safe. There have been literally millions of injections of BOTOX for cosmetic reasons and no reports of liver or kidney damage. BOTOX used for cosmetic applications has a local effect on the muscle. Any medication used inappropriately can be harmful. Even aspirin or Tylenol if used in excessive amounts can have adverse effects.

Botox injections are taken up locally by the muscles injected with the material. Therefore, it should not be taken up by the liver or the kidneys.

In the recommended amounts and limits to amounts that can be injected in one treatment session, Botox has not been shown to be harmful to the liver or kidneys.

As the others have indicated, Botox generally has no negative effects on the liver or kidneys. Doses should not exceed 500-600 units at any one time. If administered in excessively high doses, Botox can cause botulism, involving muscle paralysis, even death (with approximately 3,000 units).

Botox does not cause any damage to liver or kidneys or any other body organs. It has been used since 1980 in thousands of patients without any reports of organ damage. Regards.

Generally, at the doses used and recommended for cosmetic use, the levels achieved in the bloodstream are extremely low. Therefore the amount that reaches the kidney or liver is inconsequential. This is to be distinquished from the disease botulism in which case considerable higher quantities could casue damage.

 Botox is a neurotoxin and will not affect the kidneys or liver. In fact, after injection into the muscle, at recommended dosages, it is not detected in the peripheral blood.
