Basic Information

Drug Name: Metronidazole Cream

Main Ingredient: The main ingredient is metronidazole, which is a nitroimidazole antibacterial and antiprotozoal drug.

Indications

It is primarily indicated for the treatment of demodex folliculitis, scabies, and acne.

It can also be used as a local adjuvant treatment for trichomonal vaginitis, vulvitis, and other conditions.

Pharmacological Action

Metronidazole works by penetrating the cell wall of microorganisms and inhibiting the activity of their nucleic acid synthesis, thereby achieving antibacterial and antiprotozoal effects. In the case of demodex folliculitis and acne, it can help kill the related bacteria and reduce inflammation. For trichomonal vaginitis and vulvitis, it can effectively kill Trichomonas vaginalis and relieve symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

The cream is usually applied topically to the affected area. The specific dosage and frequency of application depend on the type and severity of the condition. Generally, it is applied 1 - 2 times a day. For example, in the treatment of acne, a small amount of the cream is evenly applied to the affected area after cleansing the face in the morning and evening.

In the case of trichomonal vaginitis and vulvitis, it may be applied to the vulva or used as directed by a doctor for intravaginal application.

Side Effects and Precautions

Side Effects: Common side effects may include local skin irritation, such as redness, itching, burning sensation, etc. Some patients may also experience allergic reactions. Rarely, systemic side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness may occur.

Precautions:

It should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole drugs.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Pregnant and lactating women should use it with caution and under the guidance of a doctor.

If the symptoms do not improve or worsen after using the drug for a period of time, or if new adverse reactions occur, stop using the drug and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
