Mirvaso has been approved by the FDA.

Have you notice any relief to your situation?

I have a question. I stopped taking this Mirvaso on Saturday it is now Wednesday. Flushing has improved with my diet but not much. Now it is still early, I know it can take 4 or 5 weeks to see improvement and I took it for 2 months. But my question is does Mirvaso really get into the blood stream? I was trying to fast the other day which I do periodically and my face turned extremely red, I thought I might have to go to the emergency room. So... I wont be doing that again. But, is my body trying to get this stuff out of the bloodstream. I am confused.... Or is this physical state the new norm for me. Constant flushing from heat and foods.

Hello again,

I posted awhile back about by negative experience with Mirvaso. I went to the dermatologist last week for the first time since my Mirvaso trial months ago. I brought my pictures of before/after the rebound to share with my dermatologist. She actually asked if she could take a picture of my photos to share with her reps...apparently she has mentioned this to them and they "did not believe her". I'm glad that the word is getting out at least. Also for those who are having a rebound reaction, it took me about a week to return to normal completely.

I am now scheduled for my first VBeam tomorrow afternoon. She recommended doing a purpuragenic treatment as she believes it to be more effective and therefore I may only need 1 or 2 treatments total. I'm actually really nervous. I had 6 IPLs and saw virtually no results but also had no downtime. I would like to go to my internship the day after treatment but have already let my supervisor know I may not make it in. My dermatologist seems very optimistic about VBeam (she said she thinks my redness will be 80% improved after one) but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. There's nothing worse than unmet expectations and being disappointed (again). Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone who could send me a sample

Since Mirvaso is not available in Germany I really hope somebody could send me a sample or maybe leftovers of Mirvaso. That would be so great and of course I would pay for it. Im so excited about this product and don't want to wait a couple of years. So please message me
Thanks a lot

Mirvaso

Mirvaso is now available in Sweden. I went to the doctor yesterday and asked him to prescribe Mirvaso for me. He had no idea what that was and after looking at his computer screen and reading about it for a good 10 min he decided that he would not prescribe it to me because after those 10 min he still did not know what it was . So I guess I will just have to go rob a farmacy but with my luck they will probably be out of stock. Or mabey I should just rob the farmacy delivery truck. That is how the professionals do it right ? If there are more swedes on this fourm you are free to join me.

Really interested to know if anyone in the UK has managed to get this on the NHS? I have an appointment next week with my GP to request it but I'm not hopeful!

My dermatologists did not know about it, which is kind of ok as I told them before it was available in Swden, but I showed her the Galderma website. I will not join you in asking about it, I have read to much negative reports, but let us know how it goes.

Hi, yes it is available on the nhs! I got an approval perscription of my derm on Friday I have had to take it to my GP for him to give me the proper prescription, I'm just waiting for it to arrive in the post, my derm had never heard of this but I told her all about it and she googled it and found all the info and that it had been approved in the uk, so you will probably have to do the same, I am a little worried about trying this as most of the reviews I have read have been bad, but if I don't try it I will never know.

Hi thanks for that red11. I have my appointment on Monday, dreading it as my doctors are quite old fashioned and seemed to think Metrogel is going to help with my subtype 1 rosacea! When you mention your derm is that an NHS or private derm, as I am requesting the script off my local GP, will he be able to do it or do I need to be referred to a derm at a hospital (a bit like Roaccutane)? Thanks again

Hi, my derm is through the nhs! My doctor set up the appointment a year ago and I go every 3 months, I think your doc should be able to give you a prescription without seeing a dermatologist as my derm only gave me an approval letter to get the proper prescription as your doctor has to be the one to prescribe it.
Let me know how you get on.

I have just received the April 2014 update to the British National Formulary which itemises all medicines prescribable on the NHS in the UK.

The only listed medicines containing brimonidine are for the treatment of glaucoma. There is no mention of any other use for the material and certainly no mention of Mirvaso.

Seems that everyone hoping for quick adoption of Mirvaso in the UK on the NHS may be disappointed.

For information, the drugs prescribable for rosacea are:
Metronidazole (various formulations, topical and oral)
Doxycycline
Oxytetracycline
Tetracycline
Erythromycin
Azelaic acid
Tretinoin
Isotretinoin
Topical corticosteroids (various)!!!!!!!!
Sunscreens and camouflagers
Tacrolimus

There is a difference between a product being available and it being available on the NHS. The source you quote requires a prescription before they will supply and in the circumstances, it will be a private prescription, not NHS.

Hi this is my first post on here, but I've been reading this forum for years. My rosacea is mainly sub type one I suffer from really bad blushing and flushing the usual triggers, being out in the sun too long,indoor central heating,food, alcohol,exercise the list goes on.
I have sufferd from rosacea for about 20 years my gp back then said there was nothing that could be done for the redness so I left it at that,but after researching this forum about 10 years ago came across Ipl laser
I had numerous laser treatments with first the private clinc in Harley street then with dr Patterson and finally with dr crouch, the laser did a good job at reducing the redness for a few years but eventually it starts to creep back.
Fast forward to last year I went to my new doctor but I found her to be a bit clueless on rosacea to be honest all she did was to prescribe antibiotics which did nothing to reduce the redness and burning.
When Mirvaso became available in the uk I decided to give it a go knowing it would be a bit hit and miss because off the dreaded rebound,
I tried it for two days at first it was fantastic but on the third day I had a really flushed face very painfull
It was like really bad sunburn that took about a week to subside so I think I'm one of those many rosacea sufferer's it not suitable for.
I got the Mirvaso privately for £55 from pharmacy2uk in Leeds uk all I did was fill in a qustionaire about your medical history
and few days later the doctor confirms your prescription.
