Can The Botox Treatment For Dystonia Lower The WBC Count?
I have dystonia in my right arm/hand and also my neck. I have been receiving Botox injections for 4 years. I see a neurologist at a movement disorder clinic for the dystonia. I take gabapentin, clonazepam, and baclofen to also help with the dystonia symptoms. I recently had some routine lab work done at my PCP s office and my WBC count was low at 3.2, I am 47 years old. Can the Botox treatments and low WBC count be associated?

Hello,
Botox treatment does not cause low WBC count. You can repeat the test after two weeks.
If the white blood cells are persistently on the lower side, you can consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out hematological causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
