Before Your Botox^® Injection

With a medical examination, only a qualified doctor can determine if BOTOX^® is the right treatment for you. Before taking it, tell your doctor if any of the following conditions applies or have applied to you:

• have swallowing, bleeding or breathing (asthma, emphysema) issues
• have had facial surgery, for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes
• plan to have surgery
• are breastfeeding a baby or plan to in the near future
• are pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the near future
• have noticed a change in the normal appearance of your face for a known or unknown reason
• have any diseases that affect your nerves and muscles (Lambert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis)
• are allergic to botulinum toxin or any other ingredient in BOTOX^®
• had an adverse reaction after receiving a BOTOX^® treatment in the past
• have facial muscle weakness (trouble raising your eyebrows, droopy eyelids)
• have received other botulinum toxin injections (Dysport or Myobloc) in the last 4 months

In addition, you should also tell your doctor about any medications, vitamins, herbs or supplements you are taking. Certain medicines can negatively interact with BOTOX^® and lead to severe side effects. During your initial consultation, please bring a list of medications you take so that they can be reviewed.

Your safety is our primary concern. BOTOX^® is not suitable for everyone and for this reason, it is crucial that you be honest during your consultation to protect your safety.
