What is Soolantra, and what is it used to treat?
Soolantra is a prescription skin cream whose active ingredient is ivermectin 1%. It’s used to treat inflammatory lesions (bumps and pimples) of rosacea, commonly referred to as papulopustular rosacea.[1]
How does Soolantra work for rosacea?
Soolantra contains ivermectin, an antiparasitic medicine. In rosacea, it’s thought to help by reducing inflammation and targeting factors involved in the condition (including the role of Demodex mites in some patients). The end result is fewer inflammatory bumps and pimples.[1]
What are the usual dosing directions?
Soolantra is typically applied as a thin layer to the affected skin once daily (exact instructions depend on the product label and your clinician’s guidance).[1]
Is Soolantra the same as other ivermectin products?
Soolantra is specifically the branded topical ivermectin 1% cream formulation for rosacea. Other ivermectin products exist (including oral formulations and different topical formulations), but they are not interchangeable without a clinician’s direction.[1]
