Are pharmacists, legally, allowed to inject BOTOX if they have successfully completed the required course?

Asked By:Good2Bgood2urself in Sacramento, CA

I know plastic surgeons "think" pharmacists should not inject BOTOX. I want to know if a pharmacist successfully completes the required course to become certified to inject BOTOX, by law, can they inject BOTOX? In the state of California - specifically. I don't want to know what plastic surgeons "think" - I want to know the written law.
