Because the signs and symptoms of rosacea vary from one person to another, your dermatologist will tailor your treatment to your particular needs.

To treat the bumps, pimples and associated redness of mild to moderate rosacea, your dermatologist may prescribe various oral as well as topical medications (creams and gels). Dermatologists usually prescribe oral antibiotics and topical therapy initially, to bring the condition under immediate control, followed by long-term use of the topical therapy alone.

Topical medications with azelaic acid have been shown to help manage the bumps, pimples, and associated redness of mild to moderate rosacea.

INDICATIONS & USAGE

FINACEA is indicated for topical treatment of inflammatory papules and pustules of mild to moderate rosacea. Although some reduction of erythema, which was present in patients with papules and pustules of rosacea, occurred in clinical studies, efficacy for treatment of erythema in rosacea in the absence of papules and pustules has not been evaluated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

FINACEA is for dermatologic use only, and not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use. FINACEA is contraindicated in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to propylene glycol or any other component of the formulation. In clinical trials, sensations of burning/stinging/tingling occurred in 29% of patients, and itching in 11%, regardless of the relationship to therapy. Post-marketing safety - Skin: facial burning and irritation; Eyes: iridocyclitis on accidental exposure to the eye. There have been isolated reports of hypopigmentation after use of azelaic acid. Since azelaic acid has not been well studied in patients with a dark complexion, these patients should be monitored for early signs of hypopigmentation.
