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 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.
