Effectiveness

How Metrocream Affects PatientsMetronidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medicine used to treat certain infections. It usually works against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, but does not work as well against facultative anaerobes or obligate aerobes. Metronidazole can cause serious side effects, including convulsions and peripheral neuropathy, so it should only be used when absolutely necessary. There is also evidence that it may cause cancer in mice and rats, but it is unknown if this applies to humans.
How Metrocream works in the bodyMetronidazole works by targeting the cells of certain bacteria and parasites. It is able to enter their cells and interact with the electron transport proteins and DNA, preventing them from replicating. Metronidazole is only effective against anaerobic or microaerophilic organisms, meaning it is only effective against certain types of bacteria and parasites. It produces toxic metabolites that damage the DNA of these organisms, ultimately leading to cell death.

When to interrupt dosage

Metrocream Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe toxic dose of metronidazole in rats is 5000 mg/kg. Overdosing on metronidazole can cause symptoms such as nerve damage, brain toxicity, seizures, reactions to alcohol, dark urine, a bad metallic taste in the mouth, nausea, stomach pain, and dizziness, as well as lowered immune system function. There is no antidote for a metronidazole overdose, so it is important to seek medical attention and administer activated charcoal to help absorb the drug in the stomach. Contacting your local poison control center is also recommended.

Metrocream for Acne Rosacea
MetroCream has done wonders for my rosacea. I've been using it for two years now, and although I still get the occasional flare-up, this cream keeps my skin looking healthy most of the time. A couple weeks is all it took to start seeing results, and I would definitely recommend it to others struggling with rosacea.

I applied the cream to my face every night before bed, and it took a few days for the lumps to go away. Highly effective in reducing redness from rosacea.

Metrocream for Acne Rosacea
After using this cream on and off for three weeks, I've seen significant results that have only gotten better with time. After one week of using it twice daily, the redness on my cheeks was reduced and the bumps on my chin and cheeks had all but disappeared. There's still some redness on my chin, but it's barely noticeable.

This cream has been very effective at reducing the redness on my forehead. However, it only lasts for a few hours, so I'm going to start using it twice a day instead of just once.

I didn't see a huge difference in the redness, but it wasn't bad enough to bother me.

Even with insurance, this medication is quite costly. Unfortunately, it also doesn't work. I applied it twice daily for three months with no improvement whatsoever. In fact, my skin looked more greasy and bumpy than before. I decided to try Prosacea instead (which only cost $8), and saw amazing results immediately! The itching stopped and the bumps decreased significantly within just a few days.

Unfortunately, I had a severe reaction to this cream. My face turned red and started swelling up. I had to go to the hospital and get medication for the swelling.
