Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Inhibitors for Treatment of Rosacea

While many treatments are available for papules and pustules of rosacea, few are available for erythema and flushing. The 2019 Global Rosacea Consensus Panel recommends general skincare, β-blockers (eg, propranolol and carvedilol), and α-adrenergic agents (eg, brimonidine and oxymetazoline) for flushing and vascular lasers for persistent erythema. Because these treatments may not always be effective or tolerated, there remains an unmet need for additional options that can address symptoms of flushing and erythema in rosacea.
