I'm 30 years old and take Minocycline to control my acne. Although I know its not GREAT to take antibiotics for a long time, I do know if I stop taking the Minocycline the acne flares up again. In addition to this I'm starting to get forhead wrinkles and elevens. Im really interested in trying Botox but I'm also nervous about drug interactions. I want to know if there are known interactions and how might I feel confident to try Botox for the first time.
