I have undergone a procedure a month back to have a flow diverter stent placed in my carotid artery. Everything has gone well and I feel fine. I am on Plavix and Aspirin for the next 6 months. Is it still ok to have my annual botox treatment for hyperhidrosis? I hope so!

Answer: Botox for Hyperhidrosis

There are many treatments
besides Botox for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis as it's commonly know in
the medical field. Treatments range from topical solutions to oral medications
to even laser treatments. In your online post you mention the cost of Botox,
did you know that most insurance...
There would be no issue as far as safety or efficacy in using Botox to reduce underarm excessive sweating, even after breast cancer and lymph node removal. Best to speak with your dermatologist about this and other treatment options for hyperhidrosis.
