Frequently Asked Questions for Metrogel 0.75% Gel

What is Metrogel?

Metrogel is a clear, topical gel used to manage the symptoms of rosacea, including redness, pimples, and swelling. Its active ingredient, metronidazole, is an antibiotic that works to calm inflammation and target bacteria contributing to rosacea. Suitable for adults over 18, Metrogel is commonly prescribed to improve the appearance and condition of facial skin affected by rosacea.

How Does Metrogel Work?

The active ingredient in Metrogel, metronidazole, provides effective rosacea treatment by:

  • Targeting bacteria: It stops the growth of bacteria responsible for rosacea symptoms by damaging their DNA.
  • Reducing inflammation: It helps to relieve redness and swelling associated with the condition.
  • Improving skin appearance: It gradually clears up spots and irritation over consistent use.

How to Use Metrogel

  1. Cleanse the affected area with warm water and mild soap, then pat dry gently.
  2. Apply a thin layer of Metrogel to the affected skin twice daily (morning and evening).
  3. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken skin.
  4. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
  5. Continue use for the prescribed duration, usually up to 9 weeks, and assess improvement.

If you miss a dose, skip it and apply the next scheduled dose as normal.

Side Effects of Metrogel

While side effects are uncommon, some users may experience:

  • Dry or itchy skin
  • Redness or irritation
  • Burning, stinging, or discomfort
  • Temporary worsening of rosacea symptoms

If side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Avoid if allergic to metronidazole or other ingredients.
  • Speak to a doctor if you have a blood disorder or other health conditions.
  • Do not drink alcohol while using Metrogel, as it may exacerbate rosacea symptoms.
  • Avoid excessive sunlight or UV light exposure while using the gel.
