What ERYTHEGO is used for?

• It is applied to the skin of the face to treat redness due to rosacea in adult patients
• Redness of the face due to rosacea is caused by high levels of blood flow in the facial skin, which is the result of enlargement (dilation) of the small blood vessels of the skin

• Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken or using any other skin medicines or cosmetics

• Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you
• ERYTHEGO is intended for adults and only for use on the skin of the face

• ERYTHEGO is recommended to be applied to the face once a day only
• During the first week, start the treatment with a small amount of gel as explained by your doctor or nurse
• If your symptoms remain the same or improve only slightly, you may then gradually increase the amount of gel. Spread it smoothly and evenly as a very thin layer as directed by your doctor or nurse
• It is important not to exceed the maximum daily dose of 1g (5 pea sized amounts applied to the whole face)
