Who is a good candidate for BOTOX treatment?
If you are healthy and have no serious medical conditions, you may be a candidate for muscle-relaxing injections. If you are pregnant or breast feeding or take certain antibiotics (eg. Gentamicin), you are not a suitable candidate for treatment and alternatives will be discussed. BOTOX should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation. Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
