Metronidazole gel is a topical antibiotic prescribed to treat bacterial infections and certain skin conditions. It works by killing bacteria and parasites, reducing symptoms and promoting healing when used as directed by a healthcare provider.
Understanding Metronidazole Gel
What is Metronidazole Gel?
Metronidazole gel is a medicated topical treatment applied to the skin to combat infections caused by bacteria and parasites. It is commonly prescribed for rosacea, bacterial vaginosis, and other skin conditions.
How does it work?
The active ingredient, metronidazole, disrupts the DNA of bacteria and parasites, inhibiting their growth and leading to infection resolution. It is effective when applied directly to affected skin areas.
Uses and Conditions Treated
- Rosacea (facial redness and inflammation)
- Bacterial skin infections
- Vaginosis (when prescribed for vaginal use)
- Other dermatological bacterial conditions
