Botox treated as Hazardous

hello!

Looking for input on handling of Botox at other institutions. Currently our hospital has Botox listed as a hazardous drug that would require double glove, chemo gown, and mask for reconstitution. I am not finding any information that justifies our current handling of this medication, but just wanted to reach out to others to see how your institutions classify/handle this drug.

Thank you for your time! I am new to this group and looking forward to collaborating in the future.
