Information
Soolantra is a topical medication primarily used in the treatment of rosacea, a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness, pimples, swelling, and small and superficial dilated blood vessels. The active ingredient in Soolantra is ivermectin, which belongs to a class of drugs known as avermectins. Ivermectin works by exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties and by killing Demodex mites, which are thought to play a role in the inflammation and skin lesions associated with rosacea. Soolantra cream is typically applied once daily to the affected areas of the face, and its use has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of rosacea, leading to clearer skin and a reduction in the number of inflammatory lesions. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions when using Soolantra and to discuss any potential side effects or concerns.
