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: Is it safe to have Botox for hyperhidrosis if on Plavix and aspirin? I believe that it would be okay to be treated with Botox for hyperhidrosis while on Plavix and aspirin. Ultimately, the decision would be up to the physician treating you though. I would be sure to mention that you are taking Plavix and aspirin and it is possible that you might get more bruising than usual. The needle used to inject the Botox is very small and unlikely to cause much in the way of bleeding.

Answer: Safety of Botox in someone on blood thinners There is no concern in having Botox treatments for hyperhidrosis/excessive sweating, even if you are on blood thinners such as Plavix or Aspirin. You may bruise a bit more after your procedure, but that's about it.
