Thank you for your question. I am not aware of any interactions with having Botox and then having your migraine medication. Be sure to check the package insert of your medication for any specific interactions to avoid.Sincerely,Benjamin J. Cousins MD

You can easily take your migraine medication after botox. Botox is also used to treat migraine headaches and patients are able to continue their therapy without any side effects.
Thank you for your question.

There should be no interaction between the two medications.  Definitely treat your migraine even if you just had Botox administered.

Hi susiemac22, 
If botox was given/injected on the forehead or frown area, this may actually help improve your migraine, and maybe, the anti migraine medication may no longer be needed, but generally, Sumatripan has no proven drug interaction to botox, but there are studies underway.
