Pep (Travada and Raltegravir) and Botox?

Question

I am currently taking Pep (Truvada and Raltegravir) and wanted to have a second Botox treatment. I know there are interactions between those two and I wonder if it would be safe to have Botox treatment one week after I finish the Pep medication or would you advise to leave a longer period before the Boots? Thanks

there is absolutely NO interaction with botox (which only works locally) and a systemic medication like PreP.  I suggest you see an expert for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I am not aware of any drug interactions between Truvada and Botox or Raltegravir and Botox.  In my opinion, it would be fine to have a Botox treatment at any time.

The is no contraindication to getting Botox if you are on the above mediciations. There is a certain class of antibiotics and anesthetic agents to be avoided if using Botox but you should be fine with the above listed ones.

Chaneve Jeanniton, MD · Answer

There are no known interactions between Botox and the PEP meds you mentioned (Truvada and Raltegravir).  Therefore it's safe to have another treatment whenever you'd like.  Best of luck.
