Can I schedule a Botox appointment if I had a hepatitis B shot a few days ago? I've had Botox before and had no problem.

Question

I just had a few days ago Hepatitis B shot and i am on doxycycline. It could cause me a problem?

Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD · Answer

Thank you very much for your question. Your
Hepatitis B shot should not cause any issues for your upcoming Botox
appointment. However, please advise your Botox provider that you have recently
received your Hepatitis B shot and are taking Doxycycline, so that he/she can
make the final determination to proceed with treatment. If you have any further
concerns, please address these with your provider, as well.

Thanks for this question. It should be safe to have Botox or Dysport after the antibiotics and Hep B vaccine. Always discuss these issues with your actual injector. Best, Dr. ALDO

Having Botox injected while on doxycycline and after a hepatitis B shot will not be a problem. There is no known complication related to these. All the best,

Dr. Brace

It is fine to have Botox following your Hepatitis B shot and dose of doxycycline. It will not impact your results and isn't contraindicated. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Botox is used cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. It is okay to have Botox after Hepatitis B vaccination. However, if you are sick. It is best to wait until you are better. If you are still having concerns it is best to consult with a doctor.

We have not seen any interaction with Botox and vaccines.  There are no known reports of people having any complications.

Hope that helps.

There should be no interaction between your Botox and having the Hep B vaccine.  Please check with your internist as well.  Best, Dr. Green

Thank you for your excellent question.  A recent hepatitis B shot and taking doxycycline are not contraindications to receiving Botox.  You should be just fine to proceed, but please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
