The number of patients is typical of these companies. I'm amazed that the FDA approves these drugs with studies that small. I think I'm going to stop using it and go back to using the lotion I purchased that is an alternative type of treatment called Prosacea along with Eucerin and/or Cetaphil.

As for the other posts concerning eyes, I use artificial tears to help prevent the crusting which occurs as a result of Rosacea and to keep the eyes hydrated. In the winter, I use the gel form at bedtime since using heat dries the eyes and I find that the dryness aggravates the Rosacea. I use them as often as needed and this was suggested by my opthalmologist. The dermatologist has also prescribed doxycycline at times when its gotten out of hand but I find that I haven't had to use those when I regularly use drops/gels. Take care.
