Is It Safe to Get Botox when Taking Spironolactone?

Question

I have been taking spironolactone for a month a half to clear up hormonal acne. I am 42 and am going in for botox in 2 weeks. Are there any complications or do I need not worry? Thanks!

I am not aware of any interactions between Botulinum toxin and Spironolactone and I have consulted Epocrates software, as well.

There aren't any indications why you couldn't have a Botox treatment/injection while taking Spironolactone, however, always discuss your health history and any prescription medications and/or over the counter supplements you are taking prior to any treatment.

It is entirely sage to have Botox and take Spirinolactone.  There is no interaction between the two of them.  Please consult an expert in Botox for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green

There are no known interactions between Botox and spironolactone. You should have no problem with your Botox treatment as long as you see a highly trained and experienced injector. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre
