THERAPEUTIC INDICATION
Vaniqa is indicated for the reduction of unwanted facial hair in
women.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Vaniqa cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily, at
least eight hours apart. Efficacy has
only been demonstrated for affected areas of the face and under the
chin. Application should be
limited to these areas. Maximal applied doses used safely in clinical
trials were up to 30 grams per
month.
Improvement in the condition may be noticed within eight weeks of
starting treatment.
Continued treatment may result in further improvement and is necessary
to maintain beneficial effects.
The condition may return to pre-treatment levels within eight weeks
following discontinuation of
treatment.
Use should be discontinued if no beneficial effects are noticed within
four months of commencing
therapy.
Patients may need to continue to use a hair removal method (e.g.
shaving or plucking) in conjunction
with Vaniqa. In that case, the cream should be applied no sooner than
five minutes after shaving or use
of other hair removal methods, as increased stinging or burning may
otherwise occur.
