Q: I am in my second trimester of pregnancy. Is it OK for me to get Botox?
A: Botox is classified as category C drug/medication. It includes these characteristics:
1. Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks.
2. Animal studies show risk, and human studies are not available or conclusive.
Thus Botox should be avoided during pregnancy.
