Caution
What's In It
Warning
Prior to giving Botox, it is crucial to know if the patient has any allergies to botulinum toxin or any components in the formula, or if there is an infection at the injection site. The effects of Botox can spread beyond the injection site, causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing and breathing, which can be life-threatening. Adverse reactions may include pain, swelling, and drooping eyelids. Use caution in patients with neuromuscular disorders or those taking certain medications. Pregnant women should only use Botox if benefits outweigh risks, as its effects on breastfeeding are unknown. Regular monitoring for side effects is necessary.
