Should You Get Botox if You Are Taking a Calcium Channel Blocker?

August 14, 2011
Asked By:Evelyn in Texas in East Texas, PA

I read that calcium channel blockers can increase the effects of botox. I currently take diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker. Is it dangerous for me to get botox if I am taking this or is it possible for me to still get it, just in smaller doses?
