Metrogel is only available as a prescription medication. Follow the instructions of your doctor and on the information leaflet in the medication package.

Begin by gently washing your face with warm water and mild soap. Then, dry it with a towel. Use a little gel to apply to your face. After using the gel, wash your hands and replace the cap.

Metrogel can be used for as long as 9 weeks to treat the irritation and inflammation causing the infection.

Metrogel contains metronidazole at a strength of 0.75%.

Use a pea-sized amount of Metrogel two times a day. One in the morning and another before bedtime. Remember that rosacea may take some time to heal. Continue the usage of the gel for as long as you are advised by your doctor.

You can skip the Metrogel dose if you forget to take it. You don't have to worry, but you shouldn't double your dosage to make up the missed one.

Wash it off with water if an excess of Metrogel is applied. Accidentally swallowing any Metrogel should be reported to emergency services immediately.
