Why is Mirvaso prescribed?

Mirvaso, with the generic name Brimonidine, is a gel used to treat facial rosacea, which causes a persistent central red rash on the face, often accompanied by bumps and swelling.

What does it do?

Brimonidine is classified as a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, which narrows the blood vessels on the face to lessen redness and swelling.

How should I use it?

Mirvaso is currently available as a 0.33% topical gel applied to the affected area of the face. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. Rinse your hands after every application.

The dosage strength and frequency depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Mirvaso?

Do not apply Mirvaso on open wounds, sunburned, chapped, or peeling skin.

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Discuss your current and previous medical history and any allergic reactions to Mirvaso, or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Inform your doctor if you had any form of surgery or if you are planning to get one.
