I received Dysport and 20 hours later was sick with nausea and vomiting. How long will it last?

Question

It's been 24 hours already and not feeling any better

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Nausea and vomiting are not a common side effect from Dysport.  It may just be a coincidence in timing.  I encourage you to visit with your primary care physician if your symptoms don't improve or worsen.

Jeffrey Umansky, MD · Answer

It is extremely unlikely that Dysport has caused you to feel ill.  I suggest you visit a Dr. as it might just be coincidental and you have some other type of stomach virus. Hope you feel better and best of luck

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It is unlikely that Dysport has caused your nausea and vomiting. I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question- 
While many medications list a mountain of possible side effects etc, the list in reality of Dysport is very small. The difference is that Dysport is not absorbed systemically like the medications we take by mouth. This is a huge difference and likely the reason why I believe you picked up a GI bug randomly. 
I would treat this like a normal GI bug and not think that it had anything to do with your treatment. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact your injector. 
Hope this help and God Bless! 
Dr. Robb
