Will Taking an Antibiotic, Like Doxycycline for Acne Interfere with the Efficacy of Botox?

December 17, 2011
Asked By:

I take 100mg of doxycycline a day for acne. I have had some botox done one recently for cosmetic reasons and wonder if taking the antibiotic might reduce the efficacy of botox? I'm now 2 days post-injections and the normal paraylsis of the muscles has started to set in.
