What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a brand name for onabotulinumtoxinA, a botulinum toxin type A. It belongs to a drug class called neuromuscular blockers, which work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical signal that tells muscles to contract. By quieting that signal in the treated area, Botox relaxes overactive muscles or calms overactive nerves.
The therapeutic form (Botox) is FDA-approved for chronic migraine prevention in adults who have 15 or more headache days a month, upper and lower limb spasticity in adults and children, cervical dystonia, blepharospasm and strabismus, severe underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis), and overactive bladder or urinary incontinence from detrusor overactivity. The cosmetic form (Botox Cosmetic) is FDA-approved only for the temporary improvement of moderate-to-severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines in adults. Botox is given as an injection by a healthcare provider; it is not a pill you fill at a pharmacy on your own.
Botox cost and savings: manufacturer card vs. Rx.com cash coupon
There is no generic version of Botox available, so there is no lower-cost generic to switch to. That makes comparing your options especially important. The manufacturer offers a Botox Savings Program, which is generally limited to people with commercial (non-government) insurance. You can review the official terms, which vary and change over time, at botoxsavingsprogram.com.
If you are uninsured, on Medicare or Medicaid, or your manufacturer savings card is declined, a free Rx.com cash coupon can help. It sets a discounted cash price you pay at the pharmacy instead of going through insurance. Because Botox is billed differently at clinics versus pharmacies, enter your ZIP above to see today's price in your area and whether a coupon applies. We never guarantee a specific dollar amount here because prices change and are shown live on the page.
Botox alternatives and related botulinum toxin products
Botox is one of several botulinum toxin products, and they are not interchangeable, doses are measured in units that are not equivalent from one product to another. Only a provider can decide which product fits your treatment. Related botulinum toxins include:
- Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA)
- Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA)
- Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA)
- Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB)
If cost is your main concern, it is worth comparing the cash price of each of these on Rx.com, since none of them has a generic and pricing can vary. Bring the options to your provider rather than switching on your own.
Botox safety and side effects
Botox carries a boxed warning about distant spread of toxin effect: hours to weeks after an injection, the toxin's effects can spread beyond the treated area and cause symptoms of botulism such as generalized muscle weakness, double vision, drooping eyelids, trouble swallowing, speech changes, loss of bladder control, or trouble breathing. These can be life-threatening, deaths have been reported, and the greatest risk is in children treated for spasticity. Get emergency help right away if these symptoms appear.
Botox should not be used if you have an infection at the injection site or a known allergy to botulinum toxin. Use extra caution if you have a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, or ALS, because of a higher risk of swallowing and breathing problems. Injections near the eye can rarely cause corneal exposure or ulceration. This page is general information, not medical advice, talk with your provider about whether Botox is right for you and about any medicines or health conditions you have.
