Twice daily gel that relieves rosacea symptoms.
Metrogel is an antibiotic based gel treatment used twice daily to reduce symptoms of rosacea, a common skin condition that causes flushing, bumps, and visible blood vessels in your face.
Talk to us about your symptoms, order Metrogel online, and get professional aftercare when you need it.
Metrogel is used to treat symptoms of rosacea. It’s the branded version of metronidazole, an antibiotic based medication used to treat the symptoms of rosacea as well as other bacterial infections.
It’s a topical treatment that aims to reduce redness in the face as well as decreasing swelling and the number of blemishes caused by rosacea. This medication is palliative not preventative, which means it only treats the symptoms when they occur and doesn’t prevent flare ups from happening in the future.
It's understood that the active ingredient in Metrogel, metronidazole, reduces symptoms by tackling bacteria in the affected area whilst reducing inflammation, redness and the number of bumps that appear on the skin.
Metrogel is available in a 0.75% (metronidazole) dose that you apply in a thin layer. It comes in a tube for easy dispensing and application.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
If you’re unsure about anything when taking this medication, ask our clinician or pharmacist prescriber for advice.
It can take some time for Metrogel to work, so it’s usually prescribed for everyday use over a few months. Some studies have shown that symptoms begin to ease in about 3 weeks. But for you to feel the full effects of the medication, it’s recommended that you take it for at least 9 weeks even if you begin to see an improvement, or for as long as your clinician has prescribed it.
Metrogel should only be used on the area of your face that is affected by rosacea. If you get any gel in your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse thoroughly with water and contact your clinician if you feel unwell.
Some people may notice increased skin sensitivity when using Metrogel. If you experience any irritation and skin dryness, try using less gel and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise, if side effects persist, stop using it and contact your prescribing clinician so we can help you choose an alternative treatment.
