The side effects are very rare and also mild

For the most part, there are only mild side effects. These include allergic conjunctivitis and puritus (itching). Much more rare side effects include oral dryness, allergic reaction, visual disturbance and flu-like symptoms. Finally, you should not use Alphagan P if you are on monoamine oxidase inhibitor medication. I hope this is helpful. Dave Shafer, MD

Rest assured, that like all Botox, your Botox will wear away completely in approximate four months at which time the complications will resolve as well.
