Oxytetracycline and botox - is it okay?

Yes, you can receive Botox while taking tetracycline. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks to see your final results with Botox. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

I agree with my colleague.  I am unaware of any interaction between botox and tetracycline, but make certain that you discuss your interest in injectables with the dermatologist prescribing your medication to confirm that they have no concerns.  

Thank you for your question. I am not aware of any interaction between Botox and Tetracycline. However, I would discuss this with your dermatologist who is prescribing you the medication to make sure that there is no interaction between them. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question.  The thinking behind chronic antibiotic use while having Botox injected is that the antibiotic may possibly make the Botox ineffective.  There is no real research to back this up, however, and many people who need to take antibiotics (including tetracyclines) every day do beautifully with their Botox treatments.  There is nothing to be worried about with having Botox.  If you would like, you could have your injector start with a small area (say the glabellar region) and see how your body responds a week or two after Botox is injected.  Then, you can return to your injector for further treatment.  Wishing you so much bliss on your journey!

Thank you for your question.  It should be safe to receive Botox while taking tetracycline.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
