Question

Have seen sb dead because of that?

Kristin M. Baird, MD · Answer

It is safe to get Botox if you are allergic to penicillin. There is no known cross-reactivity between Botox and penicillin,and a penicillin allergy is not a contraindication to receive Botox treatments. I have many patients who are allergic to penicillin who receive Botox without any issues. Best wishes.

There is no cross-reaction with penicillin and Botox so if you have a penicillin allergy, it is safe for you to have Botox injections.

Heidi A. Waldorf, MD · Answer

Penicillin is not related to and does not cross react with the botulinum toxin in Botox Cosmetic, Dysport or Xeomin.  So it is safe to get any of those products despite your penicillin allergy.

There's no cross reaction between Botox and penicillin. I've used Botox many times in penicillin allergic patients. So no problem using Botox.
