Overview
NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you.
Mirvaso gel contains brimonidine, which is the active ingredient. Mirvaso works by causing blood vessels in the skin to constrict, which means the blood flow to the skin is reduced, resulting in reduced redness of the skin.
