Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Rhofade is a prescription cream used for persistent facial redness from rosacea. It is approved for treatment in adults patients. Your healthcare provider may have prescribed this drug if you have tried and failed other treatments.
Rosacea is a skin condition where a person develops redness and flushing caused by visible blood vessels in the face. Symptoms also include papules, eye problems, and thickened skin. It is most common in middle-aged women with fair skin.
Rhofade works by reducing the appearance of blood vessels. Rhofade constricts (tightens) blood vessels of the face, making them less visible.

Drug-drug interactions are uncommon when using topical medications because only small amounts are absorbed into the body. However, some people may be at higher risk if they use the drug for a long period or in very high doses.
Tell your pharmacist and doctor about all medications you are taking, including:
Tell your doctor if you have a history of cardiovascular disease before starting this drug. Rhofade contains an alpha-agonist medication, which constricts blood vessels and can worsen certain conditions.
