Botox is safe for most people, but there are some groups of people who should not have Botox.
-
People with certain neuromuscular disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis
-
People who are taking certain muscle relaxants and certain antibiotics
-
People with inflammation or infection at the potential treatment site
-
Pregnant women: The solution to this problem is simple - women who are pregnant should not take Botox.
-
Pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is not enough data to suggest if it's safe to use botox while pregnant or breastfeeding, It is best to be on the safe side and avoid treatment while you are pregnant or breastfeeding
-
People with certain conditions: People with bleeding disorders, such as haemophilia or von Willebrand disease, should not have any kind of injectable medication because it can cause them to bleed excessively or even die from an internal haemorrhage or an injury caused by uncontrolled bleeding after injection. In addition, anyone who has had previous reactions to botulinum toxin (also known as Botox) injections or any other injectable medications should not receive another injection when it is done under local anaesthesia because those symptoms will return if you have another one and could be worse than before the first time around!
