Metronidazole gel 1%

Metronidazole gel has anti-inflammatory properties which help calm the skin, reduce redness, and prevent the formation of acne-like pimples. It also targets Demodex mites, which naturally live on the skin but can trigger an immune response in certain people, leading to inflammation and worsening rosacea symptoms.

Common side effects include skin irritation, dryness, itching and burning. In rare cases it can cause allergic reactions including rash or swelling.

Metronidazole gel is safe to use everyday.

Metronidazole gel typically starts working to improve rosacea symptoms within 2 to 4 weeks. However, it can take 6 to 8 weeks to see more noticeable results.

Metronidazole helps with rosacea and periorificial dermatitis, a condition which can cause rashes and small bumps on the face.

Do not use if you have allergies to metronidazole or any of the inactive ingredients in the gel. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes (mouth, nasal passages). Do not use on open sores or broken skin. Use with caution if you have sensitive skin.

Do not use metronidazole gel if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive.

Consultation
Anyone who requests rosacea treatment will be charged a $40 consultation fee. Please note that at this time, we do not submit claims to insurance for the medical consult fee.

Medication
For those paying with insurance:
We will bill your insurance directly for your medication and the price to you will depend on the specifics of your plan. Please connect with your insurance company if you would like to learn more about your copay.

For those paying without insurance:
Medications start at $30/month for prescription topical medication and $20-40/month for prescription oral treatments.

Support Fee
Nurx will charge a flat $3 support fee each month one or more of your orders are processed. This fee covers your unlimited, on-demand access to our customer care team as well as certain processing fees. This fee will only be charged once in any month, even if you have multiple orders processed that month. This fee applies whether the order is filled through Nurx or at your local pharmacy. If your order is filled via Nurx, the support fee is billed at the time of fulfillment. If your prescription is sent to a local pharmacy, a support fee will be applied at that time. In the future, the support fee will be applied on a cadence that matches your medication refill cadence.
