Acetylcholine-release-inhibitors are used to treat chronic migraines, muscle spasticity, and overactive bladder. They also have other uses, such as managing excessive sweating and facial wrinkles. These medications work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits signals between nerves and muscles, which helps to relax the muscles. Acetylcholine-release-inhibitors are typically available as injectable forms. Examples include Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm), and Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs). You can discuss with a healthcare professional which option is best for you.
