Oxytetracycline and botox - is it okay?

February 11, 2017
Asked By:louise.uk in United Kingdom, GB

Hi I currently take 2 x 250mg oxytetracycline twice a day for adult acne and considering undergoing botox for cosmetic reasons. I have read contradicting information as to whether there are interactions between the two and whether they should be avoided concurrently. Some say animoglycosides are the only ones which cause issues, others also say tetracylines. I'm confused. Who is right? Many Thanks
