Soolantra Medical Information

Soolantra contains the active substance ivermectin that belongs to a group of medicines called avermectins.

The cream is used on the skin to treat pimples and spots found with rosacea.

Soolantra is intended for adults and only for use on the skin of the face.

Do not use this medicine on other parts of your body, especially not moist body surfaces, e.g. your eyes, your mouth or any mucosa.

The recommended dose is one application on facial skin per day. Apply a pea size amount of the cream to each of the five areas of the face: forehead, chin, nose and each cheek. Then spread the cream as a thin layer across the entire face. Make sure to avoid the eyelids, lips and any mucosa such as inside the nose, the mouth and the eyes. If you accidentally get cream in the eyes or near the eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth or mucosa wash the area immediately with plenty of water.

Do not apply cosmetics (such as other facial creams or make-up) before the daily application of Soolantra. These products can be used after the applied cream has dried.

Wash your hands immediately after applying the cream.

You should use Soolantra daily over the treatment course and the treatment course may be repeated. Your doctor will tell you how long you will need to use Soolantra.

The duration of treatment can vary from person to person and depends on the severity of the skin disorder.

You may notice an improvement after 4 weeks of treatment. In case of no improvement after 3 months, you should discontinue Soolantra and consult your doctor.
