What is Onreltea Gel?

Onreltea Gel, known as Mirvaso in the USA, contains brimonidine tartrate (0.33%), a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist. It is used to treat the persistent facial redness (erythema) associated with rosacea in adults. This condition affects millions of people worldwide, causing discomfort, self-consciousness, and social anxiety. Onreltea Gel provides targeted relief, helping patients manage these symptoms effectively and regain confidence.

Why is Onreltea Called Mirvaso in the USA?

Both Onreltea and Mirvaso contain the same active ingredient—brimonidine tartrate—and are used to treat the same condition. The difference lies in branding: Onreltea is the name used in Canada, while Mirvaso is marketed in the United States. This name variation is common with medications distributed across multiple countries, but the formulation and efficacy remain identical. Patients can confidently switch between the two, knowing they are receiving the same high-quality treatment for their rosacea.

How Does Onreltea Work?

Onreltea Gel reduces facial redness by constricting small blood vessels beneath the skin. This vasoconstrictive effect begins within 30 minutes of application, with maximum improvement observed around 3 hours post-application. The effects gradually wear off after several hours, providing temporary but effective relief. By targeting the underlying vascular mechanisms of rosacea, Onreltea addresses the root cause of redness rather than just masking the symptoms.

Who Can Use Onreltea?

Onreltea is approved for adults aged 18 and older who suffer from moderate to severe facial redness associated with rosacea. It is particularly beneficial for individuals whose redness does not respond well to lifestyle changes or other topical treatments. However, it is not recommended for children under 18 years of age, and it is contraindicated in children under 2 years due to systemic safety concerns. Patients with cardiovascular conditions or hypersensitivity to brimonidine should consult their doctor before using Onreltea.

How to Use Onreltea Gel

• Apply a pea-sized amount of gel once daily to each of the five areas of the face: forehead, chin, nose, and both cheeks.
• Avoid applying the gel near the eyes, lips, or inside the nose.
• Wash your hands immediately after applying the gel.
• Wait for the gel to dry before applying cosmetics or sunscreen.

Consistency is key to achieving optimal results. Patients are advised to use Onreltea at the same time each day to maintain a stable reduction in redness. Overuse or improper application can increase the risk of side effects, so follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.

Side Effects of Onreltea

Common Side Effects:

• Mild redness or irritation at the application site
• Dry skin
• Flushing
• Skin burning sensation

Rare but Serious Side Effects:

• Severe skin irritation
• Low blood pressure
• Dizziness or fainting

Patients should monitor for any unusual or worsening symptoms and report them to their healthcare provider. Early intervention can prevent minor side effects from becoming more severe. Always read the medication guide provided with your prescription for detailed safety information.

Use During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

There are no well-controlled studies of Onreltea in pregnant women. Animal studies suggest minimal risk, but the gel should only be used during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks. Breastfeeding mothers should use caution, as it is unknown if brimonidine is excreted in human milk. Women planning to conceive or currently breastfeeding should consult their doctor before starting Onreltea to ensure it is safe for their specific circumstances.

Alternatives to Onreltea

Other treatments for rosacea include:

• Topical ivermectin (e.g., Soolantra) for inflammatory lesions
• Topical metronidazole for general rosacea symptoms
• Oral antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline) for moderate to severe cases
• Laser therapy for persistent redness and broken blood vessels

Each treatment targets different aspects of rosacea. Your dermatologist can recommend the best option based on your specific symptoms, treatment history, and goals.

Why Buy Onreltea (Mirvaso) from Canada?

Buying from licensed Canadian pharmacies ensures patients receive authentic medication while keeping treatment affordable.
