Answer: Is it safe? Yes it is safe to have Botox while taking Levothyroxine. Be sure to discuss medications you take with your injector including over the counter medications and supplements. Some supplements such as Fish Oil, Vitamin E, and Omega 3's can increase your risk of bruising from the treatment and should be stopped for a week or two prior.

Answer: Botox Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, it is generally safe to receive Botox injections in the forehead while taking Levothyroxine, a medication commonly prescribed for thyroid hormone replacement. Botox, or botulinum toxin, works locally in the muscles where it is injected and does not interact with thyroid medications in a way that would cause concern. However, it's always important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including Levothyroxine, to ensure they are aware of your complete medical history. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Answer: Botox Medication Safety Botox can be used safely in patients with numerous prior medical conditions. Hypothyroidism is not a contraindication for Botox use and can be used safely in the vast majority of patients. In general neuromuscular weakness conditions or spastic conditions such as synkinesis are more diagnostically challenging and nuanced use of Botox in those case is more limited. Trust your face to a craniofacial surgeon!
