Unless you have some drooping of the brow after botox, I do not see any problem in taking muscle relaxants after your injection. Christian Drehsen, MD
As long as you are not allergic it should be fine, however it’s always a good practice to follow up with your doctor to be sure.
Yes, as long as you take as directed there is no harmful interaction with the Botox. Keep in mind there is a small percentage of the population that find muscle relaxers addicting. Use in moderation. Best of luck, Dr. Giordano
I recommend following up with your injector about their protocols regarding muscle relaxants after a Botox treatment, but this should be fine. Keep in mind, it can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question CSL1129. I understand your concern. Botoxis a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facialexpression.

Thank you for your question. You can take muscle relaxants as prescribed after treatment with Botox Cosmetic. Please be sure to address any specific questions or concerns to your doctor. Hope this helps and best wishes!
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can take a muscle relaxer after botox if you aren't allergic to it.

Regardless, you should always discuss with your provider the medications that you take regularly and check that there aren't any contraindications.

Hi and thank you for your question! Over years I have performed several thousand Botox injections and have never seen a similar situation. Some minor swelling right after Botox injection is common and it goes away within hours. In your case, the swelling and puffiness might be an incidental...
The label indicates that Clindamycin could amplify side effects of Botox but if you had Botox for cosmetic treatments, the dose is too low to spread systemically. In any case, after 3 weeks it has cleared your system..
Yes we do this frequently in my practice, it take sa number of units and has to be done every 3-4 months but is often life changing. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hi and thank you for your question! I have performed several thousands of Botox injections and have yet to see a reaction similar to what you experienced. While there is always a small possibility that your reactions were related to Botox, the fact that you did not see...
Hi and thank you for your question and sorry to hear about the ordeal. What you experienced following the Botox treatments appears to be a vasovagal syncope and it is not directly related to Botox itself but the whole experience of injections, etc. Taking some rest with leg elevation should...
