Galderma Introduces New Mirvaso Pump Dispenser to Treat Persistent Facial Redness of Rosacea

Galderma Laboratories, L.P. launched  a new pump dispenser design for Mirvaso (brimonidine) Topical Gel, 0.33% for the treatment of the persistent facial redness associated with rosacea. The Mirvaso Gel Pump is now available by prescription to patients in pharmacies nationwide. The improved delivery system of the Mirvaso Gel Pump dispenses a consistent dose at each use.

Originally FDA-approved in 2013, Mirvaso Gel is the first and only FDA-approved prescription medication for the treatment of the persistent facial redness of rosacea. Once-daily Mirvaso Gel works fast to reduce facial redness. When applied once daily, it may start working in as little as 30 minutes and, for some, it can reduce redness for up to 12 hours.

“The availability of the Mirvaso Gel Pump offers a number of benefits to patients with facial erythema,” said Sandra Johnson, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Johnson Dermatology in Fort Smith, Arkansas and Galderma consultant. “Research proves that the majority of patients prefer a pump dispenser over a tube. As a frequent prescriber of Mirvaso Gel, I am excited for the introduction of this dosing option that is convenient to use for my patients.”
