Assuming...: If you are getting the Botox for justifiable medical reasons, there is no contraindications with taking both mtx and/or humira! ask your rheumatology specialist, if your pcp is unsure. But i see no issue!

Probably safe: Botox is injected locally and externally, and is unlikely to have a drug-drug interaction with drugs ingested into the GI tract, but the end effect of Botox could be accentuated or blunted by medication which can affect the chemical acetylcholine, so check with your docs and have them aware of all your meds.

Yes: Botox does not interact with any of these medications.
