Summarize with AI
Myobloc must be prescribed and administered by a specialist. Here's how to find a neurologist or movement disorder specialist who can prescribe it near you.
Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB) is an injectable prescription medication — which means you need more than just a prescription to use it. You need a doctor who is trained in administering botulinum toxin injections, familiar with the specific conditions Myobloc treats, and ideally experienced enough to handle insurance prior authorization. Here's how to find the right provider.
What Kind of Doctor Prescribes Myobloc?
Myobloc is prescribed and administered by specialists with specific training in botulinum toxin injections. The most common prescribers are:
Neurologists — the primary prescribers for cervical dystonia and other movement disorders
Movement disorder specialists — neurologists with subspecialty training in dystonia, Parkinson's disease, and related conditions; the most experienced Myobloc prescribers
Otolaryngologists (ENT specialists) — often involved in sialorrhea management; may prescribe Myobloc for chronic drooling
Physiatrists (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physicians) — may prescribe botulinum toxins for spasticity and related movement disorders
Some nurse practitioners and physician assistants working in neurology or movement disorder practices may also administer Myobloc under physician supervision, depending on state scope of practice laws.
How to Find a Myobloc-Prescribing Specialist Near You
Here are the most reliable ways to locate a qualified provider:
Ask your primary care doctor for a referral. Your PCP can refer you to a local neurologist. If you need more specialized care (e.g., you've already failed type A toxins), ask for a referral to a movement disorder specialist specifically.
Search the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) directory. DMRF maintains a physician finder at dystonia-foundation.org — a valuable resource for locating movement disorder specialists experienced in treating cervical dystonia with botulinum toxin.
Search your insurance company's provider directory for neurologists in your network who list cervical dystonia or botulinum toxin treatment as a specialty.
Search Healthgrades, US News, or Psychology Today for neurologists near you who specialize in movement disorders. Filter by insurance accepted.
Contact academic medical centers. Large university hospitals and academic medical centers typically have movement disorder programs with deep experience in botulinum toxin therapy for cervical dystonia.
Can I Get a Myobloc Prescription via Telehealth?
Telehealth can play a role in your Myobloc journey — but with an important limitation. Because Myobloc must be injected by a trained healthcare provider, you cannot receive the actual treatment through a virtual visit. However, telehealth can be useful for:
Initial consultation and diagnosis of cervical dystonia or sialorrhea
Prescription authorization and prior authorization paperwork
Follow-up visits to assess treatment response and adjust dosing plans
The injection itself must happen in person at a clinical facility. This is a critical distinction to understand when planning your care.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
At your initial consultation for Myobloc, your provider will:
Take a detailed history of your symptoms and prior treatments (including any previous botulinum toxin injections)
Examine the affected muscles and assess severity using standardized rating scales (e.g., TWSTRS for cervical dystonia)
Confirm whether Myobloc or a type A toxin is the appropriate choice based on your treatment history
Initiate prior authorization with your insurance if Myobloc is selected
Schedule your treatment appointment once coverage is confirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Myobloc must be prescribed by a provider experienced in diagnosing and treating cervical dystonia or chronic sialorrhea, and administered by a trained injector. Most Myobloc prescriptions come from neurologists or movement disorder specialists. A primary care doctor can refer you to the appropriate specialist.
A telehealth neurologist may be able to issue a prescription or prior authorization paperwork for Myobloc, but the injection itself must be administered in person at a clinical facility. Telehealth is useful for initial consultations and follow-up visits, but not for the actual treatment administration.
Start with a referral from your primary care doctor. You can also search the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) physician directory at dystonia-foundation.org, your insurance company's network directory, or Healthgrades for in-network neurologists specializing in movement disorders near you.
It depends on the state. In many states, nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) working in neurology or movement disorder practices can administer Myobloc injections under physician supervision. State scope of practice laws vary, so check with your provider's practice.
Myobloc effects last approximately 3–4 months, so most patients receive injections on that schedule — roughly 3–4 times per year. Each injection requires an in-person visit with your provider. Your doctor may also schedule interim follow-up visits to assess your response and plan dosing adjustments.
