Are there any adverse effects/interactions using Botox and Minoxidil simultaneously?

May 23, 2019
Asked By:Zhoop in British Columbia, CA

I have been getting Botox injections (approx 25 units) every 8 months. Approximately 5 months ago I started using Minoxidil 2% once daily on my eyebrow area (and I'm just starting to see results). I am due to get Botox in the forehead/glabellar area in 6 weeks. Should I discontinue the Minoxidil temporarily before/after the injections? Thanks in advance.
