Product Overview
Erythego Gel is a topical treatment formulated with the active ingredient Brimonidine. Designed as an easy-to-apply gel, it specifically targets facial redness associated with rosacea – a chronic skin condition marked by persistent redness and visible blood vessels. This specialized gel formulation helps diminish rosacea-related flushing, offering both symptomatic relief and visible improvement in skin appearance.
Uses
This medication is clinically proven to treat persistent facial erythema in adults with rosacea. As a chronic inflammatory disorder, rosacea typically presents with facial redness, dilated blood vessels, and may include papules or pustules. Erythego Gel works through vasoconstriction of cutaneous blood vessels, effectively reducing redness and enhancing the skin’s visual presentation.
How to Use
For optimal results:
1. Wash hands thoroughly before application
2. Cleanse affected facial areas with a gentle cleanser and pat dry
3. Dispense a pea-sized amount of gel
4. Apply once daily (preferably mornings) to affected areas
5. Gently massage until fully absorbed
Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with copious water.
Mechanism of Action
Brimonidine, the active component in Erythego Gel, functions as a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist. Its primary action involves:
• Vasoconstriction of cutaneous blood vessels
• Reduction of localized blood flow
• Decreased erythema visibility
Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties help mitigate rosacea symptoms including swelling and irritation, leading to overall skin improvement.
Dosage and Administration
Recommended Usage:
• Frequency: Once daily application
• Quantity: Pea-sized amount
• Application Area: Affected facial regions
Adhere strictly to your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding treatment duration. Never exceed prescribed dosage to avoid potential adverse effects. If a dose is missed, apply when remembered unless close to next scheduled dose.
