Minocycline for Adult Acne. Will This Interact Badly with Botox?

you do not need to be concerned about an interaction between Botox injections and taking Minocycline orally for acne.  The only problem is your doctor has to avoid injecting the Botox into an active cyst or pustule.
 

It should not have any effect on your Botox, however you should let your injector know about any medications you're taking before you have your treatment.

There should be no problem with getting BOTOX while taking your minocycline.  Do disclose to your injector your medical history because ultimately they are responsible for your medical care.

 

There is probably no problems with getting botox while you are on antibiotics for acne.  Whether it is Dysport or Botox, your doc will advise you which he recommends for you and enjoy the results.

It is safe to have Botox injections if you are taking minocycline.  Botox should be avoided while taking aminoglycoside antibiotics.  Always inform your physician about any medications you are taking.

As the others have mentioned, there is no known reaction between Botox and minocycline.  However, you may want to consider using other acne remedies, so you do not stay on the minocycline long term.  For example, try cutting out dairy and sugar and artifical sweeteners and drinking purified water and eating plenty of fresh vegetables.  You can even try cutting out wheat.  There are homeopathic remedies for acne as well, one brand is called Loma Lux.  make sure that you are also using prescription topical therapies.

Minocycline will not interfere with your Botox treatment (they do not cross-react), so it is safe to use together. There are other classes of antibiotics (aminoglycosides) which should not be taken while having botox injections, but minocycline is not one of them. It is always best to let you doctor know what medications you are on.

As for your acne, you may wish to see a board certified dermatologist to discuss other treatment options besides minocycline. 

Best,

Minocycline does not interact with Botox, so no concern here.  Both work quite well for the intended purposes.

Botox does not cross-react with any oral antibiotics, so they can be used safely together. It is important, however, to be aware of other side effects of oral antibiotics before ingesting them.

I agree with the other physicians who responded.  There is absolutely no contraindication to using Botox while you are on Minocycline.
