WHY METROGEL® 1%?

Here are just a few reasons why it’s the #1 prescribed topical medication by dermatologists for rosacea.

IT’S EFFECTIVE
Rosacea can't be cured, but with the proper treatment it can definitely be managed. Talk to your dermatologist about MetroGel® 1%, a medication designed to help reduce inflammatory lesions (bumps and blemishes) associated with rosacea. Using MetroGel® 1% according to your doctor’s recommendations, along with a good skin care regimen, will help you more effectively manage your rosacea and achieve healthier skin.

IT’S GOT A STRONG ACTIVE INGREDIENT
MetroGel® 1% includes the most powerful strength of metronidazole available in a topical product, and an exclusive formula that contains HSA-3®, a combination of ingredients including betadex, niacinamide (vitamin B3), and propylene glycol. In a 92% water-based gel, these ingredients work together to help your skin retain moisture while enhancing the absorption of the medicine.

IT’S PROVEN
Patients who used MetroGel® 1% experienced a 71% reduction in inflammatory lesions (bumps and pimples) after 10 weeks of treatment.

IT’S CONVENIENT
Designed for once-a-day use, MetroGel® 1% fits seamlessly into your routine. Plus, its gel formulation allows for easy application.

IT’S WELL-TOLERATED
In a clinical trial, mild to moderate local, adverse events reported were usually transient and resolved early during the course of treatment. Patients treated with MetroGel® 1% reported they were significantly less bothered by treatment side effects than the patients treated with azelaic acid 15%. 74% of patients treated with MetroGel® 1% said that they were not bothered at all compared to 52.7% for patients treated with azelaic acid.
