Can I Get Botox While on Dialysis?

Hi Daisy

I have several patients who get cosmetic BOTOX who are on dialysis.  The BOTOX is locally absorbed and that process is not subject to dialysis.  However, you kidney doctor is the ultimately responsible for your care.  As an injector, I would want to know that your nephrologist had no concerns.  WIth that approval, I would not have reservations treating you for cosmetic indications.

It is probably ok to have Botox while on dialysis. Botox acts locally in the muscle and is not distributed. I would make sure that you ask your nephrologist if it is ok with him.
