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

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.

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

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

Botox and Flagyl/ Metronidazole do not interact. Flagyl will have no effect on the results or duration of Botox. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

The metronidazole should have no effect on your Botox. Please take your medicine as prescribed by your physician. Best.

Thanks for your question and the simple answer is that there is no effect with taking metronidazole and having any toxin injections. I am not sure where you would have heard that, but consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and learn all what you need to know from these experts on this subject.

Should be no interaction but where did you come up with this issue? ................................

There are no interactions with Botox and Flagyl.  It won't break down the Botox any sooner.  However, I don't recommend doing filler when on antibiotics to avoid a filler infection.

There should be no contraindication for the use of metronidazole and Botox.Best of luck, Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
