Metrogel (Metronidazole)

Metronidazole is reduced inside anaerobic microorganisms and skin cells, producing reactive nitro radicals that break DNA strands and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. This action reduces bacterial overgrowth and suppresses inflammatory mediators, leading to decreased redness and lesions.

The dosage of Metrogel is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the affected facial areas once or twice daily, but the exact regimen should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety of Metrogel in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, and the decision should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.

Metrogel’s active ingredient, metronidazole, is a nitroimidazole with anti‑inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Compared with azelaic acid or ivermectin creams, metronidazole is often well‑tolerated and effective for papulopustular rosacea, though individual response may vary.

Metrogel should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and avoid freezing the gel.

Clean and gently pat the affected facial skin dry. Apply a thin, even layer of Metrogel to the rosacea‑affected areas, usually once or twice daily, as directed by the prescriber. Avoid contact with eyes, lips and broken skin.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema, contact dermatitis with blistering, extensive skin ulceration, and life‑threatening conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice worsening skin reactions.

Metrogel should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or any component of the formulation, on broken or severely irritated skin, or in conjunction with systemic metronidazole without medical supervision.
