Could Botox or Xeomin affect memory?

Question

I started taking xeomin injections about 6 months ago and I have noticed bad memory loss and just not being able to remember words

Carlos L. Wolf, MD · Answer

i have been injecting Botox for nearly 25 years and have found it to be one of the safest drugs I have ever used. I do not think this is the cause of your memory loss. I would consult a neurologist for a further work up.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Neither Botox nor Xeomin should affect your memory but if you are having side effects to any medication you should inform your injector.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for
your question jnichols6145. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox is a
purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Botox and other neuromodulators such as Dysport and Xeomin are not known to be associated with memory loss. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Michael H. Gold, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question and sorry that you are having these concerns – but they are not from Botox or Xeomin and we would recommend that you consult with your primary care physician or a neurologist to see what may be going on here.  Good luck.

Paul Pietro, MD · Answer

Hello jnichols6145,Thank you for your question. Memory loss is not considered to be associated with Botox/Xeomin. I would suggest that if you are experiencing new onset of the symptoms described you should present to your PCP for evaluation. Be well.
