Having some botox reactions? Taking Doxycycline after getting botox safe?

April 30, 2017
Asked By:brunettemiamigirl7 in Denver, CO

I had 10 units of botox injected between my brows 2 days ago for the first time. I am going on a trip where I need to take Doxycycline to prevent malaria. I leave in 3 weeks and will start taking the medication in 3 weeks. Will these interact with each other? I am really concerned about taking the medication now. I have had a horrible headache since botox as well as a swollen lymphnode so I am worried about the reactions now.
