Answer: Antibiotics with Botox? Hi Audrey. No need to worry as the anitbiotic you are taking will not interfere with your Botox injections. Make sure to let your MD know about all themedications and supplements you are taking as some can have a much higher probablility of leading to bruising. Good luck.

Answer: No problem to have Botox when taking Minocycline
You should have no concerns in taking Minocycline while having Botox injections for muscle relaxation. There is no interaction between the metabolism of the Minocycline (Minocin) antibiotic and Botulinum toxin. The Botox works by acting as a competitive inhibitor of the neurotransmitter between the muscle and nerve. In other words, the Botox molecule looks similar to the normal chemical that is transmitted as a signal between the nerve and muscle which makes the muscle move. When Botox is brought into that receptor it does not transmit the signal. It acts as a dummy blocker. This will not cause any affect on the mechanism of action of Minocycline.

Answer: Antibiotics (minocycline) and Botox
Yes, minocycline (a medication of the tetracycline class of antibiotics) is safe to be taking while having Botox injections.
The class of antibiotics that patients should not be taking when having Botox injections are those of the aminoglycoside class. Some of the most common (oral) aminoglycoside antibiotics are amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, and streptomycin.
It is always best to tell your doctor all of the medications that you are taking before undergoing any procedure, including Botox injections. Good luck and enjoy your Botox! MK

Answer: Minocycline and Botox
There is no problem having a Botox treatment at the same time as you are taking minocyline. The main side effect to be aware of concerning minocyline is photosensitivity -- therefore, be sure to be careful in the sun and always apply sunscreen.
