MetroGel is a prescription topical medication that contains metronidazole as its active ingredient.
It is applied directly to the skin to help treat inflammatory lesions associated with mild to moderate rosacea.
MetroGel is used to reduce bumps, pimples, and other inflamed lesions caused by rosacea.
It may also help lessen some associated redness and irritation, although it is mainly intended to treat inflammatory lesions rather than visible blood vessels or persistent facial redness.
MetroGel contains metronidazole, a nitroimidazole antimicrobial medication.
Its exact mechanism in rosacea is not fully understood, but its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties are believed to help reduce inflammation in the skin and improve rosacea lesions.
What Symptoms Can MetroGel Improve?
MetroGel may help reduce:
The amount of improvement varies from person to person.
Metronidazole has antimicrobial activity, but MetroGel’s benefit in rosacea is not thought to come only from killing bacteria.
Its anti-inflammatory effects also appear to play an important role.
No. MetroGel helps control symptoms but does not permanently cure rosacea.
Because rosacea is a long-term condition, symptoms may return or flare at different times. Your healthcare provider may recommend ongoing skin care and other treatments to help keep symptoms under control.
Apply MetroGel exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Depending on the strength and formulation, it may be applied once or twice daily.
Follow these steps:
If MetroGel accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.
Apply MetroGel according to the schedule prescribed by your healthcare provider.
If you are instructed to apply it once daily, try to use it at approximately the same time each day.
If you are instructed to apply it twice daily, it is generally applied once in the morning and once in the evening.
Do not apply more MetroGel or use it more often than prescribed. Extra applications will not make rosacea improve faster and may increase skin irritation.
If you forget to apply MetroGel, apply it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed application and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not apply extra MetroGel or make two applications close together to make up for a missed application.
You may generally apply cosmetics and other skin-care products after MetroGel has dried.
Choose gentle products that are unlikely to irritate rosacea-prone skin. Avoid harsh scrubs, cleansers, or other products that cause burning, dryness, or increased redness.
Apply MetroGel consistently for the full length of time prescribed.
Rosacea symptoms usually improve gradually, and it may take several weeks before you notice the full benefit.
Continue applying MetroGel as directed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
MetroGel (Metronidazole) is available in the following forms and strength:
MetroGel contains metronidazole and is applied to the skin. Although less metronidazole is absorbed into the body from topical use than from oral or intravenous forms, certain precautions still apply.
Tell your healthcare provider about your medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and all medications and supplements you use before starting MetroGel.
Stop using MetroGel and seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or a severe skin reaction.
Metronidazole has been associated with neurological side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, particularly with systemic use.
Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you develop new or worsening numbness, tingling, burning sensations, weakness, problems with coordination, or other unusual neurological symptoms while using MetroGel.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of neurological or central nervous system conditions.
Although systemic exposure from MetroGel is relatively low, your healthcare provider may want to monitor you more closely if you have an existing neurological disorder.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of a blood disorder or blood dyscrasia.
Metronidazole has been associated with changes in blood cell counts, particularly when used systemically. Your healthcare provider can determine whether any additional monitoring is needed.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using MetroGel.
Your provider will consider the expected benefits of treatment and any potential risks before recommending continued use.
Talk to your healthcare provider before using MetroGel while breastfeeding.
Metronidazole can pass into breast milk after systemic administration. Because absorption from topical MetroGel is much lower, the amount reaching breast milk is expected to be lower as well, but your healthcare provider should determine whether treatment is appropriate.
MetroGel is for external use on the skin only.
Avoid applying MetroGel in or near the eyes, mouth, nose, or other mucous membranes.
If MetroGel accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.
Use MetroGel only for the length of time recommended by your healthcare provider.
Using it more frequently or for longer than prescribed will not make rosacea improve faster and may increase the risk of skin irritation or other side effects.
Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you use.
Because only a small amount of metronidazole is absorbed through the skin, clinically significant drug interactions are less likely with MetroGel than with oral metronidazole. However, your healthcare provider should still review your other treatments.
The well-known alcohol interaction associated with oral metronidazole is less certain with topical MetroGel because systemic absorption is much lower.
To be cautious, follow the alcohol guidance provided with your specific MetroGel product and ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist whether you should avoid alcohol during treatment.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop persistent skin irritation, unusual neurological symptoms, or any other new or worsening reaction while using MetroGel.
Do not stop or change your treatment without discussing it with your healthcare provider unless you develop symptoms that require urgent medical attention.
MetroGel may take several weeks to produce noticeable improvement. Many people begin to see improvement in rosacea symptoms after about 3 to 4 weeks of regular use. However, the full benefit may take longer depending on the severity of the condition and how well you respond to treatment. Continue applying MetroGel as prescribed, even if improvement is gradual.
MetroGel is generally safe when used as directed, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Do not use MetroGel if you are allergic to metronidazole or any of its ingredients. Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about all medical conditions and allergies you have, as well as any medications or supplements you use. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using MetroGel so they can determine whether it is appropriate for you.
If you forget to apply MetroGel, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed application and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra MetroGel or make two applications close together to make up for a missed application, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.
