Metrogel is a topical medication that contains metronidazole as its active ingredient. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin such as rosacea. Metronidazole works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Metrogel is suitable for individuals with rosacea, a common skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in the face.
About Metrogel
Dosage and usage
You should apply a thin layer of Metrogel to the affected area of the skin once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider. Make sure to wash and dry the area before applying the gel. Avoid contact with your eyes and mucous membranes. The effects of Metrogel may take a few weeks to become noticeable. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
What Metrogel contains
Each gram of Metrogel contains 1% metronidazole as the active ingredient. The excipients include carbomer 940, edetate disodium, methylparaben, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, and sodium hydroxide.
Side effects
Common side effects of Metrogel may include dryness, redness, or a metallic taste in your mouth. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention may include severe skin irritation or allergic reactions. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing, seek medical help right away.
Precautions
Do not use Metrogel if you are allergic to metronidazole or any of the other ingredients in the gel. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. Inform your healthcare provider about any skin conditions or allergies you have before using Metrogel. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully when using Metrogel.
