Metrogel

Metrogel is a topical antibiotic commonly used to treat rosacea and certain bacterial skin infections. It contains metronidazole, which works by reducing inflammation and killing bacteria on the skin. It helps improve redness, swelling, and lesions associated with rosacea.

Apply a thin layer of Metrogel to clean, dry skin, usually once or twice daily as directed by your doctor. Avoid getting it in your eyes, mouth, or nose, and wash your hands before and after application. Consistent use is key to seeing improvement in skin condition.

Yes, some users may experience mild side effects like skin dryness, irritation, or a burning sensation at the application site. These are generally temporary and may improve with continued use. Severe irritation or allergic reactions should be reported to your doctor immediately.

The safety of Metrogel during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been fully established. It should only be used if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Always inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or nursing before starting treatment.

Most patients begin to notice an improvement in their skin condition within 3 to 4 weeks of starting Metrogel. However, full results can take up to 8 weeks or more. It’s important to use the medication consistently and as prescribed, even if results are not immediate.
