Beta blockers and botox. Can I continue to take propranolol with Botox and dermal filler injections?

Beta Blocker medication should have no effect on the ability to have Botox injections or their effectiveness.  It is important to relay all our your medical history and medications to your physician prior to any treatments.

I would see no issue with continuing to take propranolol when being treated with Botox and dermal filler injections.  There should be no interaction between them.

When undergoing a new procedure, it's important to ask about potential side effects or interactions of treatments and medications. Medications for your heart condition are particularly important because of problems associated with stopping them abruptly. Blood thinners like aspirin, plavix, coumadin, or heparin have the potential to increase bruising after an injectable procedures. Beta-blockers like propranolol and metoprolol have no associated risks with Botox or fillers. I applaud you for asking an excellent question.

There is no interaction of propanolol with either Botox of fillers. Don't stop the medication either because sometimes there is a rebound and you get faster heart rates.

I see no reason why you can no keep taking your regular medicines when having Botox and fillers. the only medicines that might increase risk of side effects(bruising) are those that thin blood and make you bleed. 

That is not a problem but these are questions that would be brought up at the time of your Botox and filler treatment as your doctor reviews your medical history and any medications you are on and will advise you as to any problems or conflicts with the proposed elective cosmetic treatment.

There is no reason that you cannot continue to have dermal fillers or Botox with your beta blockers.  Best, Dr. Green
