Prescription Vaniqa Cream Drug Information
Vaniqa Cream Uses?
Unwanted facial hair grows more slowly when you use Vaniqa (pronounced "VAN-i-ka"). This is achieved by the medication’s interference with an enzyme in the hair follicle that is required for hair growth. Vaniqa will not completely stop hair from growing, and it will not remove hair that has already appeared.
You will find it necessary to continue using whatever hair removal program you are currently using. Vaniqa, however, will make your problem with unwanted facial hair more manageable.
Vaniqa Cream Directions?
Gently rub a small amount of Vaniqa into the skin in areas where you have unwanted hair, and do not wash the area for at least four hours after application. Follow the medication instructions carefully.
Vaniqa is used two times per day, at least eight hours apart. Follow your doctor’s instructions. Vaniqa is for external treatments only.
Until Vaniqa takes full effect, you should continue your normal hair removal routine. After it begins working, you will notice you spend less time in hair removal, and have to do it less often.
It’s okay to continue using your regular cosmetics while treating your skin with Vaniqa. However, you should allow a lot of time for the medication to be fully absorbed before applying any cosmetics over it.
Vaniqa Cream Side Effects?
New users of Vaniqa sometimes have mild skin irritation, stinging or burning after applying the medication. If these symptoms do not fade after several weeks, discontinue the treatments and call your doctor. The skin of the eyes, mouth, and nose is very sensitive, so wash with clear water if you get Vaniqa on them.

Anything Else I Should Know About Vaniqa Cream?
Vaniqa cream is the only prescription proven to slow the growth of women’s unwanted facial hair. The medication does not remove hair or prevent the growth of new hair, so you will still need to use your usual hair removal routine. However, you will gradually have to remove less hair and be able to do so less frequently. Use this product only on external areas.
Vaniqa will only cause gradual changes. You will not see instant results, so be patient. You can expect to see results in approximately four to eight weeks. It does take longer for some women.
If, after six months of regular use, you don’t see any improvement, quit using Vaniqa. Your facial hair follicles will return to their regular condition in around eight weeks.
Store Vaniqa out of reach of children. Don’t give Vaniqa to anyone, or allow them to use your medication.
