Metronidazole Topical Medication Description
Metronidazole topical cream or gel is a commonly prescribed dermatologic treatment for rosacea, particularly when symptoms include persistent redness, papules, and pustules. It is an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent that helps calm flare-ups and is intended to improve the appearance of rosacea-affected skin over time.
The exact mechanism of action in rosacea is not fully understood, but metronidazole is believed to reduce inflammation and target potential skin-surface bacteria that can contribute to rosacea symptoms.
How To Use:
-
Apply a thin layer to affected areas once or twice daily, or depending on your healthcare provider’s instructions. The skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried before application. Avoid the eyes, mouth, and inside of the nose.
-
Visible improvement is often seen within 3–6 weeks of consistent use. Continued application is typically recommended to maintain results.
Warnings:
Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if irritation or allergic reaction occurs. Not intended for use on open wounds or severely damaged skin.
