Mervaso
Were you looking for information about Mirvaso? Mervaso is a common misspelling of Mirvaso.
Mirvaso® (brimonidine gel) is a prescription medication approved to treat rosacea in adults. Specifically, this medication is used to help reduce the redness caused by rosacea; it will not help with the pimples and bumps.
Just like any medicine, Mirvaso can cause side effects, such as redness, flushing of the face, and a burning sensation. Prior to beginning treatment, talk to your healthcare provider about your medical history and any other drugs you are taking, including vitamins and herbal supplements.
