Not that this is all that exciting, but those (in the U.S.) without access to the Noritate 1% Metronidazole, can now get Metrogel in 1% strength. Metrogel (and its companions metrocream and metrolotion) was previously available with 0.75% metronidazole.
Metrogel is a bit of a engima for rosacea sufferers. It is by far the most well known and most popular rosacea treatment. It has been proven to help some symptoms and some sufferers of rosacea. Metrogel has captured the public eye as being the rosacea treatment of choice. Alas many rosacea sufferers long for more effective treatments. Those sufferers of blushing, flushing, rhinophyma, edema, telangiectasia and ocular rosacea simply won’t be interested in another 1% metronidazole product.
What we want to see is more innovation and not just tinkering with existing treatments. We understand that rosacea treatments are now big business, so I guess we should expect publicity surrounding tweaks to existing treatments.
