Walmart Pharmacy now has the Generic Metrondazole Vaginal Gel by Sondoz in a Big Tube for $38.36 and it works great for me. I have No insurance and the Vaginal Gel last longer. Thanks

The Fougera .75% cream doesn’t work as well for my rosacea as their gel. The cream where I live (Louisiana) is about $30. and the gel is $71. at Walmart. BUT the vaginal gel is only $38. and is a bigger tube.
The Galderma metrogel for facial use is $211.
I have been using the Fougera gel for facial use formula, but next time I think I will get the vaginal kind and see how it does- so much cheaper.

has anyone actually tried the metronidazole vaginal cream for rosacea? i was thinking about trying it because i am overloaded with medical bills and really can’t afford it.

I was able to purchase the Fougera 45g tube for $49.95 about 2 days ago. I had used Metrogel but ran out and with no insurance I was having a hard time so I went for the fougera version.

It is the 0.75% formulation that has become available generically, not the 1%.

Galderma upped the concentration and changed the formulation in order to create a new product that would then become their own again until the patent expires again.

If Galaderma no longer has the patent on Metrogel 1%,why isn’t Fougera making the same product in generic form?

Just read all of the input, albeit a year later than the posted dates I see. Checked w/Sam’s Club in area and advised .75% strength in 45 g tube $102.62 for generic.
Called them and answer was Sam’s Club prices vary from one club to another, one city to another, and one state to another. Obviously, the $58 – $78(no insurance) cost sounds like a heck of a good deal to me.
