Default Vaniqa

My doctor just wrote a script for me to purchase Vaniqa. Where can I get Vaniqa with my script at an inexpensive price.

Also, I am getting waxed tomorrow night. Can I put the cream on my face/neck/chest the next morning. Also, I read that you will put it on twice a day. So, I was thinking about putting the cream on in the morning and after work. Any other comments on the usage of the cream. Thank-You!

They advertise it cheaper online, but IMO everything comes with a cost...so just pay and walk away!

I heard that it should only be used on the face. Mornings and after work sounds good too...

You are daring like me because if I got an Rx for it I would probably try it everywhere!

But, stick to the directions as you dont know how it will affect you...

Good luck!

It is *very* expensive, even with an RX as most insurance co's will not pay for it. I think I paid about $90 for a small tube of it. However, you're supposed to use it very sparingly, and it does last quite a while. It HAS worked well for me. It took a few weeks to notice the difference, but there has been a huge difference in the re-growth time. I no longer have a 5 o'clock shadow! While I don't necessarily see a difference in the amount of hair, the time between hair removal is getting longer and longer.

It burned my skin a bit the first few days I was using it, so be aware that that may happen to you as well.

Since it may irritate your skin, I don't know if you should use it before a waxing. AND, you need to wait at least 5 minutes after your hair removal routine to put it on. So, if I were you, I would put it on for the first time the morning after your waxing. But, it's up to you

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.

You've got the right idea. It's not always a good idea to go the cheaper route anyway.

i heard great things about it. plus it is fda approved. just call your doc first and ask him/her if they will right a script for it. my endo doc wrote a script for me but i know a dermo doc can as well. i will tryit it soon and i will let you know.

my doctor prescribed it to me a couple of days ago. Said to use it twice a day so I figured in the morning after my shower and before bed. The price nearly killed me but I'm going to try it until she puts me back on spiro. Good Luck to you.
