The company suggests that physicians don't use Botox if a patient is taking an aminoglycoside antibiotic so double check with your pharmacist that fosfomycin is not an aminoglycoside and provided they agree it is not, you would be able to have Botox injected.
Hello, Thanks for the question. Its always best to ask your primary care physician, however, in many patients this would not be an issue. Its important to treat any infection you may have. Dr Bonaparte
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can take antibiotics a week after Botox treatment as it will not interfere with your results. I recommend addressing any concerns you may have with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
It should not be an issue for you to take antibiotics a week after Botox injection. It is always best to check with your doctor just in case.
Thank you for your question anijet. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles.It is difficult to make an assessment without a formal exam where the entire medical history is reviewed. However, I hope the information provided here is useful.While Botox is one of the safest treatments offered, there are some situations where it is not appropriate. These include anyone who has an allergy to any of the inactive ingredients or who has had an allergic reaction to any botulinum product including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Myobloc. The safety and efficacy of Botox has not been established in women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding. Therefore, women in these categories are advised to wait until breast feeding is completed prior to having a Botox treatment. Botox should not be placed in the skin on the site of an infection. Those who are taking an aminoglycoside antibiotic, an anesthetic, D-penicillamine, antimalarials, or immunosuppressants should not be treated, nor should those who have undergone chemotherapy within the previous six months. It is important to avoid blood thinners before and after a treatment. These include both prescription and non-prescription medications such as warfarin (coumadin), aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginko biloba. Those with conditions that affect muscles and nerves such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not undergo Botox treatments.If I had a patient who had Botox one week ago I would say that it would be safe to take the antibiotix fosfomycin.With any injection, there are risks such as pain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection. We take special precautions to minimize these risks such as using a painless technique. We also treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruises usually resolve within two weeks if untreated. After a laser treatment bruises usually resolve in 1-3 days, but may still take two weeks for full resolution. In addition to these risks, with Botox there is also a risk that the product spreads or diffuses to nearby structures. Spread to nearby muscles can lead to side effects such as the temporary appearance of droopy eyelids or a temporary asymmetric smile.After a Botox treatment, I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not lie down flat for four hours. This is because all of these activities may possibly lead to the movement of the product and consequent side effects such as droopy eyelids as described above. Although there have been no definitive studies shown that these actually occur and some physicians do not provide such aftercare instructions, in the absence of data I err on the side of caution and recommend that my patients avoid such activities.Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Yes you can take an antibiotic after a botox injection there is no counter-interaction with it. Enjoy your treatment!
Hi yes it is ok to take oral antibiotics after having Botox done and will not affect your Botox treatment or outcomes
Thank you for your question. No, this is not a sensitivity to Botox. Your result is due to either the Botox being placed too close to the eyebrows or too high of a dose. As Botox is temporary the effects will wear off in 3-4 months. I recommend following up with your injector for an evaluation....
Thank you for your question. The heavy feeling you are experiencing is due to a high dose of Dysport injected into the forehead. As Botox is temporary the results will wear off in 3-4 months. I recommend having a follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
Thank you for your question. There have been no studies on the effects of Botox or filler during pregnancy therefore we do not recommend treatment. I recommend discussing your concerns with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
