Rosacea sufferers should know that there’s a new rosacea drug, topical ivermectin, that has been recently approved by Health Canada.
This antibiotic-free, anti-parasitic topical prescription treats the inflammatory lesions (bumps and pimples) of rosacea. In Canada this treatment will be marketed under the trade name of Rosiver®.
April was Rosacea Awareness Month in North America, and to mark the event, Dr. Ulmer gave a free talk on living with rosacea. Both of our dermatologists are members of the Acne and Rosacea Society of Canada: Dr. Rivers as President, and Dr. Ulmer as a Medical Committee member.
