Taking Antibiotics while you have Botox and Juvederm?

April 6, 2016
Asked By:AnneM1975 in Beaumont, CA

I have heard that if you take antibiotics while you have botox, the botox will fade fast, I just got juvederm and botox a week ago and now I have a toothache, I don't want to lose the effects I just paid for.... what can I do? The antibiotic is CEPHALEXIN 500 mg. I took an antibiotic when I had dysport and the effects faded but I was in month 3 so that could be why?
