I received Dysport yesterday for the first time. Last night I experienced flu like symptoms, headache and nausea. Now a mild fever and rash. I have read that it is a rare occurance, but that you can get a rash from Dysport, particularily if you have an automimmune disease. I do have Hashimoto's disease. I went to a very respected and prominent dermatologist that has told me to see an internist that it cannot be from the Dysport. My internist thinks it is from the Dyport. Any recommendations?
Answer: Allergy to Dysport Thank you for your question. Once everything settles down, you may want to consider a small test prior to any future neurotoxin treatments. In addition, Xeomin has the least amount of associated proteins and may be your best option. Despite this, I would recommend trying a test spot prior to doing a full treatment.I would also contact Galderma directly to report this as this helps them track these adverse events.

Answer: Allergy from Dysport This is definitely an allergy to Dysport. If you want to try this again in the future, switch to Botox or Xeomin and see if you can tolerate either of them.Good Luck!

Answer: Contact the Dysport manufacturer I have several patients with Hashimoto's disease who successfully receive injectables. Now with that being said, different people have different triggers. If a topical numbing cream was applied prior to the injectable or if a certain solution was used to clean your face before the injections were done, either of those can trigger a rash. Usually the rash would occur at the injection site only but for people with autoimmune issues, that rash can trigger fuller body rashes. The Dysport cannot be removed from the body so the best thing to do is just treat the rash and other symptoms at this point. I'm not sure we can get to the bottom of whether or not this was a result of the Dysport, or just a coincidence that you had a flare-up. You can contact the Dysport manufacturer to report the incident and I would certainly recommend you do that. You can use the web reference below to report it. "This
