Product Overview
Erythego Gel is a topical medication containing the active ingredient Brimonidine. It is formulated as a gel for external application. Erythego Gel is primarily used to treat facial redness caused by rosacea, a chronic skin condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels on the face. The gel is specially designed to reduce the redness associated with rosacea, providing relief and improving the appearance of the skin.
Uses
Erythego Gel is indicated for the treatment of facial redness associated with rosacea in adults. Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Erythego Gel works by constricting blood vessels in the skin, thereby reducing redness and improving the overall appearance of the affected area.
How to Use
Before applying Erythego Gel, wash your hands and cleanse the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat dry. Apply a pea-sized amount of the gel to the affected area of the face once daily, preferably in the morning. Gently massage the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Do not apply Erythego Gel to broken or irritated skin. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
How it Works
The active ingredient in Erythego Gel, Brimonidine, belongs to a class of medications known as alpha agonists. It works by constricting blood vessels in the skin, which reduces the flow of blood to the affected area and decreases redness. Brimonidine also has anti-inflammatory properties, which help to alleviate the symptoms of rosacea, such as swelling and irritation, resulting in an overall improvement in the appearance of the skin.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of Erythego Gel is a pea-sized amount applied once daily to the affected area of the face. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the frequency and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as this may increase the risk of side effects. If you miss a dose, apply the gel as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
