Is It Safe to Use Botox After Having Guillian-Barre?

Botox is a neurotoxin and inhibits muscle conduction. In a patient with history of GBS, this is a contraindication, due to the nature of GBS. I would not feel as though the potential side effects administering Botox to a patient with GBS would outweigh the reason for treatment. Best of luck!

Many neurologists treat migraine headache with Botox. Since they are the experts about GBS you should pose this question to them. I would NOT use it.

Botox is not recommended for patients who have had Guillian Barre.  I would talk with my doctor about alternative treatments for your migraines and cystitis.  Lana Long, M.D.

Agree with Dr. Morgan.  It is not recommended and is not worth the risk in my opinion.  Consider a surgical resection of the corrugators either through a browlift or through upper blepharoplasty incision.
