Doxycycline after Botox injections?

April 7, 2017
Asked By:California Dream'n in Reno, NV

Hello! I recently (9 days ago) received 12 units of Botox in my frown lines. Shortly after what I thought was a spider bite on my arm was cultured and came back as MRSA. I now have been put on doxycycline 100mg 2xday for 10 days. However I have read that there could be interactions between Botox and tetracycline and now I am super freaked out! Both the prescribing Dr and pharmacy have little knowledge on Botox. Please help!
