It is estimated that 14 million Americans suffer from rosacea. Many fail to identify this condition or realize that it can be treated. Patients should speak with their doctors if they feel they may have rosacea. If the condition is present, it may be treated with Metrogel, the medication that is most-prescribed by dermatologists for rosacea. Metrogel is a powerful antibiotic gel that is applied topically to the skin. It is not completely known what contributes to the efficacy of the individual components of Metrogel, but clinical studies have proven it to be effective for most patients.
Tell your physician about all of the medications you currently take, especially any other topical gels, creams, lotions or ointments. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should first talk to their doctor about Metrogel before using it. Avoid allowing Metrogel to have contact with the eyes. Caution should be taken in patients who have, or have had, blood dyscrasia. If skin irritation occurs, patients should use the medication less often or discontinue use.
Only take this drug exactly as directed by a doctor or a pharmacist. Thoroughly clean the application area before applying Metrogel once daily. Only a thin film of the product should be utilized for each application. Wash your hands before and after each application.
In clinical trials, the types of side effects experienced with Metrogel were similar to those experienced with the vehicle (placebo). The incidence of side effects with Metrogel are low; however there are some minor side effects that can occur. If you experience side effects that are moderate, severe or bothersome, be sure to tell to your doctor about them. These may include: burning, itching, dryness, flakiness, irritation, redness, nausea, tingling, numbness and a metallic taste.
