Answer: Should Botox be reconstituted with preserved or non-preserved 0.9% NaCl? I have not found that it matters. As my colleagues have pointed out, preserved saline is more comfortable than non-preserved. The package insert reflects the conditions used for initial studies of Botox.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Botox and Dilution It is recommend to mix with unpreserved saline, but it hurts more so I use presevered as well -- it is less painful and has no change in the clinical result. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox reconstitution I prefer to use preserved saline for reconstitution because it is slightly more comfortable for the patient but the FDA trials were done with unpreserved saline but there is no difference in duration of effect either way or onset of action.
