Description

Metronidazole Topical Gel 0.75% in a 45-gram tube is a nitroimidazole antimicrobial agent formulated for dermatologic use. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions associated with rosacea. The topical application provides localized anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, helping to reduce facial erythema, papules, and pustules.

This formulation delivers metronidazole in a water-based gel, allowing for easy application, quick absorption, and minimal residue. The 0.75% concentration is effective for long-term management and maintenance therapy in chronic rosacea cases. It is applied once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare provider, on clean and dry affected skin areas.

The gel acts by disrupting DNA synthesis in susceptible microorganisms, reducing the presence of inflammatory triggers on the skin. It also exhibits antioxidant properties, contributing to the reduction of oxidative stress associated with rosacea flare-ups. The formulation is generally well-tolerated, with minimal systemic absorption and a low risk of systemic side effects.
