As my colleagues have agreed, Botox/neurotoxin is not known to have a correlation with dehydration. Best to seek assessment and treatment from your PCP. Hope this helps!

Alain Michon, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Dehydration has not been shown to be a complication/adverse reaction of botox injections. I recommend seeing your general practitioner or an internal medicine specialist to find out why you are dehydrated to the point of needing IV fluid. Best of luck.
