OTC /Prescription DRUG INTERACTIONS WITH BOTOX

June 29, 2011
Asked By:Christine9712001 in oak park il

I received botox between the brows 6 days ago.  I did have a cold & took Zyrtec, Sudafed, Robitussin and Advil the morning of. A few hours after injection, my eyelid/brow was numb and I experienced severe eyelid twitching. My right eye continues to twitch and the DR said they never heard eye twitching is a side effect of botox. I now have a sinus infection and I am on a Z-PACK,Flonase,Sudafed. Is there any concern with taking all of these different meds and could it be the cause of the eye twitching?
