What if a patient gets pregnant while Dysport is still in her system? Do patients need to be on contraceptives for any period of time after getting a Dysport injection?
Answer: Dysport and pregnancy Thank you for your question. I would not worry too much if you had Dysport and found out you were pregnant. Dysport works locally where it was injected and the dosing is very small. The makers of Dysport would never consider sponsoring a study to see the safety of Dysport during pregnancy or breast feeding as it would be too risky for them. Likewise, for physicians. I generally provide reassurance for situations like yours and I do recommend that you stop any future injectable treatments until either the baby is born and after breast feeding. I would also let you OB know that you had a Dysport treatment during pregnancy so they are aware.

Answer: No Dysport while pregnant
It is not recommended that Dysport be used in woment who are pregnant or breastfeeding. I would not inject Botox, Dysport, or any filler until after a women has finished breastfeeding.

Answer: Dysport There are no studies showing adverse reactions due to botox for pregnant women, especially that it is only meant to affect the muscles directly beneath the skin and dosage is very low. But it is better to err on the side of caution. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Answer: Dysport and Pregnancy Though there isn’t any evidence that Dysport negatively affects a growing fetus, I would warn against having any such injections while pregnant. It is always better to be on the safe side and to exercise caution in situations that are not mandatory, such as cosmetic treatments. If possible, I recommend that you wait until after you have given birth and are finished nursing to proceed with your Dysport injections. If you are worried about a Dysport injection that happened prior to knowing you were pregnant, consult your OBGYN for further guidance.
