I have Botox and am taking metronidazole. Will these break down the Botox?

Question

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

It should not have any effect on your Botox, however you should let your injector know about any medications you're taking before you have your treatment.

William R. Burden, MD, FACS · Answer

Metronidazole should not accelerate the breakdown of Botox.   Did you read or hear something about this?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is no interaction with this. Botox is injected and stays local as well, oral pills are systemically absorbed.  Best, Dr. Emer.
