Mirvaso
Galderma

Mirvaso

Brimonidine is a highly selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that is 1000-fold more selective for the alpha2-adrenergic receptor than the alpha1-adrenergic receptor. Cutaneous facial application of a highly selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist reduces erythema through direct cutaneous vasoconstriction.
MolluDab
Alliance Pharmaceuticals

MolluDab

Used externally against molluscum contagiosum, a skin lesion caused by a virus. Causes cells which are affected by the virus to dissolve and thereby produces a defence reaction of the skin in the region affected by molluscum contagiosum.

Molutrex
BAP Medical

Molutrex

Molutrex contains a stable solution of potassium hydroxide (also known as KOH). This agent breaks down the hard keratin surface of the skin. When painted onto the molluscum blisters this sets off an irritant reaction which stimulates the body’s own immune system to attack the virus. The virus is destroyed and the blisters heal.
Mycota
Thornton & Ross

Mycota

An SLS free, 2-in-1 leave on emollient and wash that adds moisture to the skin for the relief of flaking dry skin conditions.
Myribase Cream
Penlan Healthcare

Myribase Cream

Myribase Cream is a soothing and moisturising daily cream that softens, protects and delivers instant hydration from the first use. It is SLS, parabens and lanolin-free and is suitable for dry, itchy and eczema-prone skin. The cream helps repair the skin barrier by locking in moisture, and protecting skin against irritants and water loss.
Myribase Gel
Penlan Healthcare

Myribase Gel

A protective, hydrating emollient for the treatment of dry skin conditions. It contains a higher oil content than an emollient cream, is light to the touch and non-greasy, with the ease of absorption of a gel. It encourages rehydration and softening of dry skin by restoring the oils that provide the natural occlusive barrier within the epidermis, thus reducing drying as a result of the evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers. It contains isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin 15% and is free of fragrances and colourings. May be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments.
Nemolizumab (Nemluvio)
Galderma

Nemolizumab (Nemluvio)

Nemolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody of the IgG2 subclass that inhibits IL-31 signaling by binding selectively to IL-31RA. IL-31 is a neuroimmune cytokine that drives pruritus and inflammation, which are important pathophysiological components of atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis. IL-31 has an additional barrier dysfunction effect in atopic dermatitis, and epidermal differentiation and profibrotic effect in prurigo nodularis.

NeoClarityn
Organon Pharma

NeoClarityn

NeoClarityn contains desloratadine, which is a non-sedating, long-acting histamine antagonist with selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist activity. After oral administration, desloratadine selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1-receptors because the substance is excluded from entry to the central nervous system.
Neutrogena T/Gel
Johnson & Johnson

Neutrogena T/Gel

NeutrogenaT/GelTherapeutic Shampoo is a fragranced medicated shampoo for the treatment of itchy, flaky scalp disorders. Regular use helps to control these problems, while treating the scalp and caring for your hair. Treatment usually lasts for 6 weeks, after which time improvement should be seen. Longer periods of treatment should only take place under the supervision of a doctor. Active ingredients: Neutar 2% solubilised coal tar extract 20mg/ml
