Hello Natey.If you did you should call poison control. Botox is not readily available outside doctor's office and is a biohazard and dangerous to handle if it came from a lab. The live bacteria which produce the toxin are dangerous.Good luck, Dr. ALDO :)
if somehow you actually did swallow some in an office it is mostly just saline and will have no effect
Hi There Thank you for your question. Frivolous because you cannot have possibly swallowed botox. The interesting thing is however what is the toxic dose to humans? The answer is a lot. You would have to simultaneously swallow many many bottles for there to even be a chance of an effect on your body. Obviously botulism (a deadly disease caused by eating dodgy cans of tuna infected with Clostridium botulinum ) is an altogether different proposition as the ingested dose is far far higher than you would get from a bottle of Botox.Kind Regards Dr Dinesh Maini Zenith Cosmetic Clinics
Thank you for your question nateythejanitor. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated withfacial expression. It is designed to be injected, not ingested. It is not known what the possible effects of ingested Botox are. If I had a patient who swallowed Botox and was having symptoms I would recommend that she visit a local emergency room. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
You should always call your healthcare provider if you believe that you ingested poisonous material. If it is a concern, posting on a forum is not recommended. That being said, ingesting small amounts of botox should be fine. You will be OK. Chase Lay, MD
Botox would be the easiest method to help diminish winkles. I would have to see your in person to give you a better idea about what other products would be helpful.
It can be normal to experience heaviness for a short time after having a neuromodulator or “muscle relaxer” placed. Sometimes you can avoid that heaviness sensation by placing it in areas that will not cause things like brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis or other unwanted side effects. &nb...
Yes, you are fine to receive Botox injections with the MTHFR mutation. This mutation is fairly common in the heterozygous form and can be found in up to 50% of the population. Most people who are carriers do not display any abnormal traits from the variant gene. Homozygous...
