Botox Effects when Youre a User of Anabolic Steroids?

Jessica2835Aug 2, 2012
I have gotten Botox in the past, not while on a cycle of anabolic steroids. This time around I am on a cycle of Winstrol, Clenbuterol and Anavar. I have my Botox appointment coming up and am worried that all these drugs could interact with my Botox. Can someone give me some knowledge on this topic?
