Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is no contraindication for receiving Botox injections while taking penthermine that I am aware of. Having an injector with experience is extremely important. I suggest to consult with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question rreis. Phentermine is an amphetamine used as an appetite suppressant. Such a medication is not a contraindication to Botox treatment. Contraindications include neurological diseases such as myesthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gherig's disease), and Lambert-Eaton syndrome. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Paul Pietro, MD · Answer

Weight loss with the aid of Phentermine and having Botox for fine lines and wrinkles is not considered problematic nor contraindicated. You raise a good point though as to the importance of discussing all medications (prescription/over the counter/herbal/supplements) with the professional who will be performing your injections.

Thank you for your question.  Based on the limited information provided, it should be safe to proceed with Botox treatment.  Please be sure to see an experienced injector for an in-person consultation including a review of your medical history and current medications in order to determine the best course of action.  Best wishes!
