Mirvaso has been approved by the FDA.

I've been using Mirvaso for around 3 months+ for permanent redness on the nose. I'd recommend trying it, however expect some rebounding and don't expect a miracle cure. Unfortunately, it doesn't effect thread veins. The lack of inflammation tends to make these more prominent in appearance and also shows up just how ruddy the skin is.

The dilating effect lasts alot longer than 12 hours in my case, making the rebound a little unpredictable. There's been a handful of occasions where my nose has rebounded at unfortunate moments. As a result, I would apply it daily, sometimes twice a day (before going out.) The rebounding effect doesn't always occur in my case. The potency/effectiveness of Mirvaso also appears to have lessened over this time for me. Whether this may be due to overlapping use with a rebound, I'm not sure. I've (occasionally) felt the need to put more than the recommended dose on.

That said, on a bad day Mirvaso can be a life-saver and i'd certainly suggest giving it a trial, if only for those social moments where you're feeling particularly self-conscious.

mirvaso sales rep

for those social moments where you're feeling particularly self-conscious.

...this phrase in particular makes me suspect that "misnomer" is a mirvaso sales rep and not a rosacea suffer.

100% mate . hes a Mirvaso Sales Rep . You could spot him a mile off

[Brady Barrows]

New study just released on Mirvaso and it doesn't mention anything about the rebound effect in the abstract.

No, I'm not a rep for Mirvaso, I just didn't have a terrible experience with it. Overall, it's a benefit to me as long as I'm indoors when it wears off. I've decided that the only thing that's gonna stop me getting sniggered at in the street is a combo of Veinwave+Fraxel+Mirvaso.

I'm also gonna quit the Diet Coke, I think it might be contributing to a poor gut-bacteria environment. Tough nut to crack. Also going on Paleo as of tomorrow, my life has been practically ruined by this condition. I need to do whatever I can, at least then I can rest easy.

Another study published

jeadv.gif
A study was released today published by the JEADV in its July issue that reports brimonidine tartrate (BT) 0.5% gel "subjects achieved a clinically meaningful improvement in both CEA and PSA scales were more likely to report satisfaction with the overall appearance of their skin (P < 0.001)." No mention of rebound in the abstract.

Brady is simply sharing information that is being presented to the public and medical community.
He is not pushing the drug, so no need to reprimand him.

Brady seems to be playing Good Cop , Bad cop a lot when it comes to this subject [Mirvaso]

That Report is a insult to the hundreds of people who have came on this Forum and told us their horror stories over using Mirvaso .

So that Report is calling them liars

I was one of the first victims and refer to it as 'the brimonidine hell'. I have never fully recovered from it and the areas which suffered the most vascular damage appear to be permanent.
It has ruined my life.
I ended up in the ER twice.

I rather like Brady's systematic approach to posting data and facts, however, as it is very organised. When I need to find a study or statistic, I know where to come.
The gathering of information is very time consuming and in my case, sitting at the computer fuels my flushing, so I appreciate someone is doing it.

It is also good to know what kind of twaddle the so called 'research' is turning out on this particular drug and effects. More evidence of manipulated results and dishonesty.
This serves several purposes, including the important one of showing members here, that studies don't necessarily illustrate the truth, whether it be unintentional, or a willful deception.

[samoht]

but where are all those people who don't have any problems using mirvaso ??????????????? there are no pictures in the internet where you could see the improvement or anything like that
you almost can't find anything about this drug. the companies are saying that the people are satisfied with the product and almost nobody has rebound flushing. where are all the facts that proves that ??????? why don't we see those positive experiences somewhere. i just don't get iti mean when it's such a good product (i mean the company is saying this and also the studies), why is there not more commercial about it or something like that????? it really pisses me off.

There is a rosacea support group on facebook where a lot of people say to use Mirvaso with success. I try to put the word of warning out now and then but it seems like rowing against the stream there to be honest. Its a closed group where you have to submit to as they share pictures and all that, but you can read some more about people having success there (or for now at least, I am still convinced they are all at risk for severe problems soon or further down the line with this ****ty product): https://www.facebook.com/groups/4292244948/

Another report was released today published in the Expert review of clinical pharmacology as well as PubMed which is supposed to discuss the efficacy and safety of Mirvaso but the abstract doesn't say much. It costs $89 for the article which I am not willing to pay. If anyone obtains a copy please share.

There are obviously a number of rosacea sufferers using Mirvaso, since physicians all over the world are reading these papers and are prescribing Mirvaso treatment to their patients, not to mention the number of free samples these physicians are handing out. The number of clinical papers on brimonidine for rosacea is growing and some do indeed mention the rebound effect. If you go back through this thread you can find the papers published.

As of today, 2007 members. That's where all the activity went. Thanks for the discovery. Forums like this are dying out and Facebook is the place. And rosacea sufferers want to feel safe and not attacked for simply posting something and sharing their photos. So you have posted about the rebound effect and out of 2007 members very few are reporting rebound with Mirvaso and more are reporting success? That is very odd.

I have always wondered where all the rosacea sufferers have gone and they landed in the Facebook group you discovered. This has been a well kept secret. But now the secret is out.

Yeh but there is quite some antagonism going on there too Brady, I'd say more than around here and another thing I noticed; the approach there is a bit different from here. Not better or worse, but I see a lot more emphasize on natural treatment options (which is great) but not as much on scientific approaches; some ladies promoting bleach on their faces and pesticides and when you warn and say pls be careful you are a bit of a party pooper, or so it felt to me. I wouldn't say it is an upgrading to this forum, this is still the number one Rosacea place to be as far as I am concerned, but it's good that there is diversity. But yeh facebook has a few rosacea groups actually, and since most people post with their own facebook account, I found the atmosphere to be strangely enough more antagonizing at times. Or maybe that is just because I say opposing stuff and give opposing opinions now and then, not sure if it is partly because of my own approach perhaps. But, more information can be found there.

Brady for our Mirvaso lists, there is a problem with the Mirvaso testimonials on these closed of rosacea groups on facebook, as you have to be a member to view them and that means we can't link to them in our lists. I am still in limbo about adding their testimonials or not, as we can't link. Curious about your thoughts on this?
