Mirvaso has been approved by the FDA.

There are some who are reporting Mirvaso works for them at RS:

However, it is difficult to know for sure, since (1) there are no dates to know when the post occurs, (2) most are only reporting initial results.

I do agree with nat007 that using these as positive reports would be premature.

I noticed here that Dr Chu was supposedly on the miravaso trials and he has been reported as saying "Rebound? Side effects? First I have heard of that!".
Is anyone going after dear Dr Chu?
Not that I have met him, but those who consult him, find him a compassionate man with a drive to help patients.
Was he really involved with the trials? I mean, first hand? Or was he just commenting on second hand information?

These are my thoughts, anyway.

Hii Mistica,

It was another member who wrote that here, but I saw him last year November and have told him about the brimonidine trial and the bad rebound I got and also Wrincleclue and you. He indeed was surprised about it and said he was on some board for this drug and I don't know the details but I got the impression it was some soundboard thing, where doctors in the field can shoot questions and are updated perhaps, or maybe they had more influence but I doubt it. At the time he said he had brought the rebound issue up to them and that they were waving it away and that he wasn't sure at that point if that meant they had found a solution for it, in their base cream components somehow, or not. I don't know why someone else saw him later and wrote that he sounded so surprised and said it was the first time he heard it. Dr Chu is a great doctor I think and does his best within the limited treatment options for facial flushing to make a dent with medication or other treatments but its tough. Not even sure I should have written about this information in the first place, perhaps that wasn't very wise.

Yeh my apologies too for sounding harsh. Never meant to discredit Brady who indeed has been a long standing member who contributed a lot.

Thanks Starlite. I sure don't want to cross with a mother bear.
