As a precaution, it is not advisable to use Botox during pregnancy or breast-feeding. It is also contraindicated if there is any concern that you may be allergic to Botox or suffer from a generalised muscle weakness disorder.
Botox contains a small amount of human serum albumin (HSA) to maintain its stability. HSA is a blood product and is therefore not suitable for individuals who have religious objections to the use of blood products.
You may want to take paracetamol an hour before the treatment, although most people find it relatively painless. Do not take aspirin or ibufprofen-type pain-killers, as these may exacerbate any tendency to bruising.
