| 13.06 | Brimonidine 0.3% Gel Mirvaso® | Brimonidine gel will not be effective in inflammatory rosacea i.e. it will not treat papules and pustules. Do not treat erythema associated with rosacea unless the inflammatory component is controlled. If the inflammatory component of rosacea is difficult to manage please refer to secondary care - do not treat with Brimonidine. Brimonidine will not be effective in a proportion of patients. The onset on action is less than an hour in most patients. HDFT Dermatologists practice is to give a test dose, and assess the patient at 1-2 hours. If Brimonidine treatment is judged to be effective by the clinician, it can be prescribed. The patient should be informed that increasing the topical dose to more than the five pea sized applications to the face once daily will NOT improve efficacy and is an off-licence use. Patients should be informed that the product can be used once daily, but it is acceptable to use on a PRN basis. Rebound erythema can occur 5-10 hours post dose which seems to be responsive to further application of Brimonidine (off licence use). Further studies are required to elucidate if this rebound is associated with any long term adverse events. |
