Answer: Botox Is Safe No, Botox is not poisonous. It has been used safely for decades for cosmetic purposes. Botox is made from a purified version of botunlinum toxin, which if ingested in large amounts in an unpurified state could be poisonous, just as the arsenic found in almonds is. The amount of botulinim toxin used in Botox is minuscule. All it will do is relax dynamic muscles that cause wrinkles, allowing the skin to smooth out and look rejuvenated. It can also be used to control a gummy smile, slim the jawline, control excessive sweating, and manage migraines. I hope this helps.

Answer: Tylenol is as much a poison as Botox Botox is a form of neurotoxin, therefore technically a poison like many other forms of medication known to our society. The key is that Botox, like Tylenol is typically used in small therapeutic doses with proven safety records. The typical dose of Botox is 50 units or less, while the average toxic dose is in the thousands of units. You can rest assured that although the name "Botox" reveals that is is a neurotoxin, it is one of the safest medications available when used responsibly.

Answer: Botox poisonous only in very large amounts Well, actually, when used in very large doses, Botox can be poisonous. But when Botox Cosmetic is used in the amounts necessary for cosmetic indications it is safer than Aspirin.

Answer: NO Botox treatment for cosmetic improvement of lines and wrinkles has been the most commonly performed cosmetic intervention in the United States for several years running. In the hundreds of thousands of patients successfully treated, there are no reports of "poisoning" from the treatment. Side effects are usually minor, and quite rare- but they do exist, as they would with any other medication.
