Is Doxycycline Contraindicated With Botox?
Hi, my name is Candice. I got a bite on my neck last Saturday/Sunday. I went to the doctor and I have an infection. She gave me a prescription for doxycycline. When I had the prescription filled the pharmacist informed me I shouldn t take it cause I had Botox for my migraines. She said to talk to my doctor but I can t find him!! I had my last injection on May 6th. I ve been reading on the Internet lots of people who have had nasty reactions from taking the antibiotic. Any thoughts?

Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggest you not to take antibiotics with botox. There are chances of getting worse reaction. Though there is no study till date to show reaction with drug. It is advisable not to take if antibiotic taking is not essential.
