Is It Ok to Take Normal Medications After Getting Botox? Like Allergy Medication?

Asked By:loperandtedsmom in Los Angeles, CA

I suffer from allergies and wanted to know if it is OK to take something like Benadryl after getting Botox injections in my forehead. I think it is ok as my doctor didn't mention to avoid any meds, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!
