Active Ingredient: Brimonidine
Brimonidine is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of facial erythema of rosacea in adult patients.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Cutaneous, between 0 milligrams brimonidine and 3.3 milligrams brimonidine, once daily, over the duration of 1 week. Afterwards, cutaneous, 3.3 milligrams brimonidine, once daily. The maximum allowed total dose is 3.3 milligrams brimonidine daily.
One application per 24 hours, at any time suitable for the patient, for as long as facial erythema is present.
The maximum daily recommended dose is 1 g of gel in total weight, which corresponds to approximately five pea sized amounts.
Treatment should be initiated with a smaller amount of gel (less than the maximum) for at least one week. The amount of gel can then be increased gradually based on tolerability and patient response.
Brimonidine gel should be applied smoothly and evenly as a thin layer across the entire face (forehead, chin, nose and both cheeks) avoiding the eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and membrane of the inner nose. Brimonidine gel should be applied only to the face.
Hands should be washed immediately after applying the medicinal product.
Brimonidine gel can be used in conjunction with other cutaneous medicinal products for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea and with cosmetics. These products should not be applied immediately before the daily application of brimonidine gel; they may be used only after the applied brimonidine gel has dried.
