BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the first and only preventive treatment approved by the FDA for adults with Chronic Migraines.

Not knowing when a headache or migraine will occur can be challenging. While other treatments may help you once you already have a headache, a preventive medication like BOTOX^® therapy is approved to help prevent headache days.

The Two Types of Treatment Options

There are many ways to manage Chronic Migraine; most medications are either acute or preventive. Headache Specialists often prescribe preventive medications for Chronic Migraine patients; however, a treatment plan may include acute and preventive treatment, so it’s important to understand how they work to manage Chronic Migraine.¹

Please call (509) 0460-5588  or schedule an appointment with TCO today to see if BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is right for you.
