Can I have Botox treatment while on the antibiotic Clydamycin for stye infection?

I suggest waiting until you have finished antibiotic treatment and no longer present with signs of infection before Botox treatment. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  If the desired area of Botox treatment is away from the stye you should be fine to have Botox administered.  See a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation, they can offer you the best advice.  

You should be fine to have Botox injected even though you are currently being treated for a stye. However, if you have a lot of local swelling around the affected eye, I personally would wait until it has improved to ensure the Botox does not spread beyond the intended muscle group. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can receive Botox injections while being treated for the stye (Chalazion). In addition to the oral antibiotics, apply hot compresses to the stye for an hour per day.Good luck,

Thank you for your question kristy1976. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Certain antibiotics called aminoglycosides can potentiate the effects of Botox. But Clindamycin is not an aminoglycoside. However, if my patient has an infection in the eye area, I would recommend waiting until the infection has resolved and the antibiotics course has been completed prior to a Botox treatment. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
