Botox How to Take

Botulinum toxin is a neuromuscular paralytic agent. It blocks the nerves that are responsible for muscle activity and helps to relax muscles that are in constant contraction (spasm). It is used to treat conditions that are caused by certain muscles going into spasm. These include:

  • blepharospasm, a condition where the eyelid will not stay open because of a spasm of a muscle in the eye
  • cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic Torticollis, a condition in which the muscles of the neck stay in a state of contraction
  • focal spasticity such as arm spasms after a Stroke

Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are being given Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a), speak to your doctor. Do not stop receiving Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) without consulting your doctor.

Personalized PocketPacks

We sort your medication into clearly labeled, individual packs so you can be sure you're taking the right dose at the right time.

Botox Dosage

Botulinum toxin is injected into a muscle (or under the skin when used for excessive underarm sweating) by a qualified health professional. When given for conditions of the eye, the medication is injected into the surrounding muscle or tissue of the eye.

The dose of medication required depends on the condition being treated and individual circumstances. More than one dose may be required, depending on the condition being treated. Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications.

It is important Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) be given exactly as recommended by your doctor. If you miss an appointment to receive botulinum toxin type A, contact your doctor as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. It is very important to keep your appointments for treatment and follow-up.

The dried product should be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C, or in a freezer at or below -5°C. The dried product should be diluted with the supplied solution after it is removed from the freezer and kept in the refrigerator until use or up to 24 hours. Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) should be kept out of the reach of children.

Botox Precautions

There may be an interaction between botulinum toxin type A and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. In many cases, interactions are intended or are managed by close monitoring. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a). Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Botox Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a).

Angle-closure Glaucoma: Botulinum toxin can cause angle-closure glaucoma in those at risk. Your doctor will monitor for this if necessary. If you have glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Distant toxin spread: Very rarely, Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may spread to other parts of the body other than where it was injected, leading to muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, pneumonia, speech difficulties, and breathing problems. Distant toxin spread can be fatal. If you develop severe difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing while using Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a), contact your doctor immediately.

Heart disease: Botulinum toxin has rarely been reported to cause arrhythmia and heart attack. People with heart conditions may be at increased risk of irregular heartbeat or heart attack. If you have a heart condition, discuss with your doctor how Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Other medical conditions: People with certain nerve or muscle disorders are at increased risk of developing serious side effects, such as difficulty swallowing or breathing. If you have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, any disorder that produces a depletion of acetylcholine, or disorders that produce peripheral neuromuscular dysfunction, discuss with your doctor how Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Pregnancy: Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a) should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while receiving Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin-a), contact your doctor immediately.
