Iopidine should not interfere with Botox's effect
The droopy eyelid can be lifted by Iopidine's stimulation of the nerve muscle junction differently than the manner in which Botox blocks the acetylcholine receptors. There should be no dimunition of the Botox's effect on the desired muscle target's response.

Will Lopidine Counteract Botox?
Hi Jayne. As other panel members have stated, the target muscles associated with the Botox injections are different than the ones that are affected by the Lopidine.
When the Botox was injected, it traveled farther than your injector anticipated which is what caused the droopiness. The opposite does not happen. The Iopidine will not migrate back to your forehead, brow or glabella (area between eyes). Hope that helps.

Iopidine and Botox
No - it will just help the eylid become less droopy. The Botox will continue to "work" in the other muscles of the forehead/face.

Dr Smith's post is excellent! Follow that reasoning and your issue will be solved. Better yet ask your injecting doctor his plan of treatment.

Botox will continue to work

Eventually the BOTOX will wear off.
The iopodine will have not bearing on when the BOTOX wears off. The drug simply helps lift open the heavy eye.

Iopidine® will not interfere with your BOTOX®
When a patient gets a droopy eyelid ["lid ptosis"] after treatment of the lower forehead with BTX-A [for example, BOTOX® XEOMIN® or Dysport®], Iopidine® eyedrops are often prescribed.
Iopidine® works by stimulating Müller's muscle [a smooth muscle in the upper eyelid which, because it is a "smooth muscle" is not affected by BTX-A. Contraction of Müller's muscle in response to Iopidine® lifts the upper lid, helping the patient...

Botox, Iopidine, and a droppy lid.
Iopidine, a medicine originally used to treat glaucoma, will not cause Botox to stop working. This medicine stimulates a muscle that elevates the eyelid and reduces droopiness. Iopidine does not reduce the potency or length of effectiveness of Botox.
