Feeling nauseated after Dysport... off food. First time injection on smoking lines by nurse.

Question

Could this be related to the Dysport or is it pure anxiety? This is my first time. How long does the drug stay in your system and does it travel through your bloodstream or anywhere that could cause nauseated feelings? I just need reassurance as I only had a small amount but I have read bad things on the internet.

Nausea is not a side effect associated with Dysport, and it should not spread beyond where it was injected. Your nausea is most likely coincidental or possibly related to anxiety over having the treatment done for the first time. Dysport lasts for around 3-4 months in most people.

Thanks for your question. I have never had a patient feel nauseous after a Dysport treatment. Perhaps, you were feeling nervous or uneasy before your treatment.

Thank you for your question. Nausea is not a side effect that has ever been reported as a direct result of Dysport injections. The product works by preventing contraction of the muscle it is injected into. There are no systemic effects. Hope this helps.

Dysport cannot directly cause nausea, this is likely a response to your injection and anxiety.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Matthew Bridges, MD, FACS · Answer

I have never had a patient complain of nausea after Dysport or Botox.  There should not be any systemic absorption of the injection, and if there were, it would be negligible.  I would think the nausea is due to anxiety or otherwise coincidental.  Check with your injector.
