I am a cancer survivor. I am on tamoxifen 20mg since 2012. Can I inject botox in my forehead?

To my knowledge, there is no contraindication to getting botox treatment while on tamoxifen. It is always best to check with your physician before beginning any medication or pursuing any medical treatment if you are unsure of the interactions. Best of luck

I see no reason why u can't have Botox with your history.  I use it on a lot of patients with a history of breast cancer.

Thank you for the question.   There is no reason to believe (based on medical literature) that there is any interaction between your tamoxifen and any of the neurotoxins.  Good luck! 

I have treated many patients after cancer treatments. It is always reassuring when i speak directly with your oncologist so we are all aware of the your current condition. But you should be fine with Botox treatments while on Tamoxifen.

There is no clinical evidence of any considerable interaction between estrogen blockers such as tamoxifen and medical botulinum toxins. Plus the dose required to address your concerns with your forehead is small. So go ahead and enjoy the results!! Dr. Daniyar

Hi there! Thank you so much for your question. It is wonderful to hear that you are doing well. Botox should be no problem with tomaxifen. Make sure you pick someone to do your Botox that has lots of experience so your outcome will be the best it can be.  Best of luck from Charleston SC 

Thank you for your post and question. I am not aware of any problem for you to have Botox (while taking tamoxifen) for your forehead or other areas at this time. Sincerely,Dr. Benjamin J. Cousins MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

There is no reason to avoid Botox after breast cancer treatment or while taking Tamoxifen. Botox has local effects but doesn't interfere systemically with medications you are taking.

There should there should be no issues with your current condition and treatment using Botox. In fact a good Botox experience should remove a bit of stress from your face and life.  Good luck from New York City
