Am I safe to have a very conservative amount of Botox for crows feet in spite of having Temporal Artiritis?

June 18, 2018
Asked By:Diane31133 in Tucson, AZ

I was recently diagnosed with Temporal Artiritis. I take Gabapentin and Nexium and now they have added prednisone as a new medication. I’ve been having Botox treatments for 4 years without a problem. I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s in 2011 and the Botox never seemed to have an ill affect on that autoimmune condition. When I search online on drugs.com they do not show records of adverse reaction between Botox and prednisone however I cannot find information about risk beyond the interaction itself
