I will take 500 mg of amoxicilin as a prophylatic when I have my teeth cleaned because I have a congenital heart defect. I scheduled an appointment to have botox and restylane done afterward. Can I do this on the same day since I have no infection? Will the antibiotic interfere negatively with the botox and/or lessen its effects?

Answer: Injectables and antibiotics Thanks for your question. Pre-op antibiotics are not routinely indicated for Botox or dermal fillers as they usually are for surgical procedures. That being said, antibiotics will not affect the effectiveness of these products. Although infections are very rare from injectables, you likely will be getting the benefit of decreasing any chance of one by timing it as you are.

Answer: Antibiotics and Injections You should have no problem having your injections done on the same day as taking a prophylactic antibiotic and the antibiotic should have no affect on the Botox. Good luck with your injections!
