Getting the Best Results With MIRVASO Topical Gel
How to Apply MIRVASO Topical Gel
What to Expect From MIRVASO Topical Gel
For most patients, the MIRVASO Topical Gel effect is powerful.
Skin that has been red for days, months, or even years
may suddenly look "normal" again. But remember:
| MIRVASO Topical Gel is not a cure for rosacea Your redness will return after the effect of the medication wears off |
|
| Some patients have reported that their redness returned worse than it appeared before This could be due to exposure to triggers or it may simply be a return to your natural complexion, which may be alarming after seeing yourself without the usual redness. Common triggers include: spicy food; stress and anxiety; hot drinks, such as coffee and tea; alcohol, such as red wine; physical activity, such as exercise; sun exposure; extreme hot or cold environments; and certain skin-care products. Avoid your triggers, even while you are using MIRVASO Topical Gel |
|
| Tell your doctor about side effects In clinical trials, about 10% of subjects reported worsening of redness while using MIRVASO Topical Gel. In every case this side effect was temporary and went away on its own. However, if you are concerned that you may be experiencing a side effect while using MIRVASO Topical Gel, speak to your physician or dermatologist right away |

Study Designs
Two 4-week pivotal studies
The safety and efficacy of MIRVASO® (brimonidine) topical gel, 0.33%* was evaluated in 2 identical, randomized, vehicle-controlled trials with 553 patients aged 18 years and older. Study participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either MIRVASO or vehicle gel once daily for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint for both studies was 2-grade composite success at hours 3, 6, 9, and 12 on day 29. The secondary endpoint was 1-grade composite success at 30 minutes on day 1. Composite success was defined as improvement on both the Clinician Erythema Assessment and Patient Self-Assessment.1
Long-term, open-label study
The long-term safety and efficacy of MIRVASO was studied in a 52-week, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative study with 449 patients with moderate to severe facial erythema of rosacea. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long-term safety of MIRVASO applied once daily for up to 12 months. The secondary objective of the study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of MIRVASO applied once daily for up to 12 months.2
