- [Migraine Management (Dr. Hanna)](https://chinookmedicalcentre.com/migraine-management-dr-hanna/): Botox is a muscle relaxant injected into the muscles or just beneath the skin to block nerve signals (impulses) to those muscles, reducing muscle movement and causing relaxation that fades over time. For chronic migraine treatment, Botox is believed to block pain signals that contribute to migraine development. Besides migraines, Botox also reduces sweat production when injected into sweat glands and helps control urinary incontinence by relaxing bladder muscles. The active medicinal ingredient is onabotulinumtoxinA, a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, with albumin (human) and sodium chloride as non-medicinal ingredients. Botox is available as a sterile powder for injection in doses of 50, 100, and 200 units per vial. Botox should not be used if you are allergic to any ingredients, have an infection at the injection site, suffer from muscle disorders such as myasthenia gravis or Eaton Lambert syndrome, have a urinary tract infection or cannot empty your bladder regularly, or if you are unwilling or unable to use a catheter when necessary.
