Soolantra is a branded cream-based medication that contains the active ingredient ivermectin, which is a drug that helps the body tackle parasites and inflammation. The cream is designed to deal with the pimples and spots that you can get with rosacea flare-ups, a common skin condition that affects approximately 40 million people worldwide.
How does Soolantra work?
It isn’t entirely clear how Soolantra works, but it’s thought that the active ingredient ivermectin helps the body reduce symptoms of rosacea through its anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic properties. Soolantra is specifically used to treat the bumps and blemishes caused by rosacea and has been very effective in clinical studies. Over 60% of participants noticed an improvement in their symptoms.
What doses of Soolantra are there?
Soolantra is only available in one strength, 1%, which means that the cream contains 1% ivermectin. But it is available in three different sizes: 30g, 45g and 60g tubes. Which size tube to get depends on how severe your rosacea is, and our clinician can recommend the best option for you.

If you’re not sure about anything when taking this medication, ask our clinician or pharmacist prescriber for advice or refer to the package information leaflet.
How long does it take Soolantra to work?
Soolantra is usually prescribed for longer-term use, so don’t expect to see noticeable results right away. Studies have shown that some patients see a difference after about two weeks of use, but the most improvement was seen over a twelve-week period. So it can take a few months before you get the full benefits.
It’s important though to keep using Soolantra for as long as your clinician has prescribed it, as symptoms can come back even after you see an improvement.
What should I do if I make a mistake when using Soolantra?
There’s no evidence to suggest Soolantra is harmful, and it’s an easy product to use, but it’s important to always follow the instructions given by your clinician. If you feel any skin irritation or burning sensations, wash the area thoroughly, stop using Soolantra and contact your clinician for further advice.

FAQ: Soolantra
Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
How is Soolantra different from other treatments for rosacea?
Answer:
Soolantra contains ivermectin, which is a type of anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic drug that is thought to relieve symptoms by reducing inflammation in the face.
Other treatments for rosacea are available, but they contain different active ingredients that help to get to grips with symptoms in other ways.
Mirvaso Gel works by narrowing blood vessels and decreasing blood flow to the affected area, which reduces visible redness. Finacea, which is another treatment, contains azelaic acid. It works by reducing the clogging and irritation of the sebaceous glands which can cause redness and swelling linked to rosacea.
All these treatments are successful in dealing with symptoms of rosacea but it’s important to find which one works for you, so have a chat with us and we’ll help you find the best option for your needs.
How effective is Soolantra?
Answer:
In clinical trials, Soolantra has proven to be quite effective at dealing with symptoms associated with rosacea, specifically bumps and lesions. During two separate studies, almost 90% of participants reported a moderate to excellent improvement in their symptoms and quality of life over a period of twelve weeks.
Which version of Soolantra should I use?
Answer:
Soolantra is a new, specially formulated cream, so there’s only one version available on the market. While the active ingredient ivermectin is available in a generic form, it’s used to treat other conditions and not specifically designed to fight rosacea symptoms.
Soolantra 1% cream is available in different-sized tubes and your clinician will help you to choose the right one based on how severe your symptoms are.
Do I need a prescription for Soolantra?
