Product description
Common use
Vaniqa cream is used to reduce unwanted facial hair in women. Vaniqa interferes with a chemical in hair follicles under the skin, which slows hair growth where the medicine is applied. Vaniqa cream does not permanently remove facial hair or prevent hair growth.
Dosage and direction
Vaniqa cream is usually applied twice daily, at least 8 hours apart. This medicine is for use only on the face and chin. Do not apply to other areas of the body. Before application, remove any facial hair using your desired hair removal method (razor, tweezers, etc). Wait at least 5 minutes before applying Vaniqa.
Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. Apply a thin layer of cream to all affected areas of the face or under the chin and rub in thoroughly. Wait until the medicine dries completely before you apply cosmetics or sunscreen to treated areas. Do not wash the treatment areas for at least 4 hours after application of Vaniqa.
Precautions
It is not known whether Vaniqa cream will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
It is not known whether eflornithine topical passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
