Hello,
* As there is no systemic absorption of the Botox injection, it can be safely used for a cardiac patient on pace maker.
However, do discuss the frequent needs of the Botox therapy over a period of time with its advantages and disadvantages in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
