Prescription Rosacea Treatment

Prescription Rosacea Treatment is a prescription only topical product available in a gel or cream. You can use it to treat rosacea or skin infections. It kills bacteria on the skin, reduces inflammation, and can ease symptoms like redness, soreness, and discharge in the case of infections. For rosacea, Prescription Rosacea Treatment can help reduce flare-ups and calm the skin. If you have an infected wound, it can clear the infection.

When you use Prescription Rosacea Treatment, you’re applying the active ingredient directly to the affected areas, meaning it can work exactly where needed without impacting the rest of your body. This can help reduce the chance of side effects while still treating local issues like infections or rosacea.

How Does Prescription Rosacea Treatment Work?

Prescription Rosacea Treatment contains metronidazole as the active ingredient. This is an antibiotic that helps to reduce inflammation and kill the bacteria linked to rosacea flare-ups. It can also support healing by clearing infections. It works by targeting DNA in certain bacteria. It damages this DNA, which prevents the bacteria from multiplying. This clears the infection and reduces inflammation in the area you use it.

How To Take/Use Prescription Rosacea Treatment

You should use your Prescription Rosacea Treatment exactly as your prescriber has told you. Wash your hands before and after applying, and always apply to clean and dry skin.

For rosacea, you’ll typically use it twice a day, morning and night. Wash and gently dry your face before applying a thin layer to your skin. Be careful not to get it in your eyes - if accidental contact with your eyes happens, rinse carefully with water.

Side Effects

As with any medication, Prescription Rosacea Treatment may cause side effects. Not everyone experiences all or even any of them, but some symptoms you may get include skin irritation like dry skin, redness, itching, burning, stinging or worsening of rosacea in the area you applied Prescription Rosacea Treatment. If you do get skin irritation, your prescriber may advise you to use less Prescription Rosacea Treatment until the irritation clears up. You may also experience a metallic taste in your mouth or feel a bit sick, but these effects should clear up after a while.

Warning

You shouldn’t use Prescription Rosacea Treatment if you’re pregnant, think you may be pregnant or if you’re breastfeeding. If you’re allergic to the active ingredient or any of the other ingredients in the gel, you shouldn’t use Prescription Rosacea Treatment. Prescription Rosacea Treatment might interact poorly with anticoagulants (drugs used to reduce blood clotting), so make sure you advise your prescriber of any medications you take before starting Prescription Rosacea Treatment. It’s also recommended that you avoid alcohol while using Prescription Rosacea Treatment.
