Winlevi Information

Winlevi at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Winlevi (clascoterone) is manufactured by Sun Pharma in many countries worldwide, including Canada. Generic clascoterone is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Brand Winlevi is commonly available as a 1% topical cream in a 30 gm tube.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Winlevi (clascoterone) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat acne vulgaris in people 12 years of age or older. Acne vulgaris, commonly referred to as acne, is a chronic skin condition in which hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil, resulting in various lesions, including blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and deeper cysts. It commonly affects the face, chest, and back and can cause scarring.

Mechanism of Action:
Winlevi (clascoterone) is a topical androgen receptor inhibitor. While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, clascoterone is believed to compete with androgens, such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), for binding to androgen receptors within the skin's oil glands and hair follicles. Blocking this binding reduces the androgen-driven processes of sebum (oil) production and inflammation, which are key factors in the development of acne.

Use Winlevi exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

Why is Winlevi more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Winlevi, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
