A member asked:
I went to a cosmetic surgeon for hyaluronidase injections for lumpy juvederm. he also prescribed two weeks of biaxin (clarithromycin). have you heard of this?

No: Biaxin (clarithromycin) is an antibiotic. It does not affect hyaluronic acid (ie juvederm) . However your physician may be concerned for infection.

Yes: Yes, biaxin (clarithromycin) is sometimes used for "biofilm related infections" that can cause lumps or long-term swelling following injection of juvederm.

Infection Possible: Your doctor may be concerned that a low grade infection is causing the lumpiness. So that is why the antibiotic was prescribed. Rare infections can occur after hyaluronic acid injections. So keep in contact with your doctor.
