Mirvaso Brimonidine Gel for Rosacea

Mirvaso Gel is a prescription-only topical treatment designed to alleviate the redness (erythema) associated with rosacea, a common skin condition affecting the face. Its active ingredient, brimonidine tartrate, works by constricting the blood vessels beneath the skin, thereby reducing facial redness and flushing.

How Does Mirvaso Gel Work?

Brimonidine, the active component in Mirvaso Gel, is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. When applied to the skin, it causes the blood vessels to narrow, leading to a noticeable reduction in redness and flushing typical of rosacea.

Usage Instructions

•Application: Apply a thin layer of Mirvaso Gel once daily to clean, dry skin.

•Dosage: Use a pea-sized amount for each of the five areas of the face: forehead, chin, nose, and each cheek.

•Avoid: Do not apply to the eyes, lips, or inside the nose.

•Drying Time: Allow the gel to dry completely before applying other skincare products or cosmetics.

Potential Side Effects

While Mirvaso Gel is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience:

• Redness or flushing at the application site

• Skin burning or stinging sensation

• Contact dermatitis

If you notice any severe reactions or if symptoms persist, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

Important Considerations

•Consultation: Before starting treatment, discuss with your healthcare provider to ensure Mirvaso Gel is suitable for you, especially if you have a history of heart or blood vessel conditions.

•Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

•Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter products.

Mirvaso Gel is available in the following pack sizes and strengths:

•Strength: 0.33% brimonidine tartrate (3 mg/g)

•Pack Sizes: 30g, 60g, and 90g tubes

Each gram of Mirvaso Gel contains 5 mg of brimonidine tartrate, which is equivalent to 3.3 mg of brimonidine free base.

The 30g tube is commonly used for initial treatment, while larger sizes may be more cost-effective for ongoing use.
