Use Labeling to Remind Patients That Soolantra is Harmful if Swallowed

March 2015

Soolantra (soo-LAN-trah, ivermectin) will be a new topical cream for treating rosacea.

Think of Soolantra as an alternative to topical metronidazole (MetroGel, etc) or azelaic acid (Azelex, etc) for reducing facial inflammation and bumps.

Expect most patients to apply up to five pea-sized amounts of Soolantra to affected areas of the face once daily.
