Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Rosadan Work?
Rosadan (metronidazole) works by acting on bacteria and inflammatory pathways in the skin. It has both antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce the bacterial load on the skin and help suppress the inflammation responsible for the redness and lesions characteristic of rosacea. Though the exact mechanism in treating rosacea is not fully understood, it is believed to involve reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory substances in the skin.
Common Dosages
- 0.75% gel, cream, or lotion (applied twice daily).
- 1% gel or cream (applied once daily).
Typical Dosing
- For rosacea: The usual dose is to apply a thin layer of Rosadan once or twice daily, depending on the strength and formulation. The gel or cream should be applied to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Topical treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea.
Who Shouldn't Take Rosadan?
- Known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or any of the components of the formulation.
- Active skin infections unrelated to rosacea, as topical metronidazole is not intended for treating general skin infections.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Rosadan exactly as prescribed, usually once or twice daily depending on your healthcare provider’s instructions.
- Apply a thin layer of the medication to clean, dry skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
- It may take several weeks to see improvement in rosacea symptoms, so continue using Rosadan even if you do not see immediate results.
- Do not use harsh skin products (like exfoliants or alcohol-based toners) while using Rosadan, as these may increase skin irritation.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen, as rosacea symptoms can worsen with sun exposure.
Side Effects of Rosadan
Common Side Effects
- Mild skin irritation (redness, dryness, itching, or stinging)
- Burning sensation at the application site
- Watery or irritated eyes (if the product gets into the eyes)
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

Risks and Warnings of Rosadan
- Sun sensitivity: Rosadan may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun exposure while using this medication.
- Skin irritation: If irritation becomes severe or persists, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider. Rosadan should not be used on broken or severely inflamed skin.
- Interactions with other skin products: Using Rosadan with other topical products that contain alcohol or irritants can increase the risk of skin irritation. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or exfoliants while on Rosadan.
Interactions with Rosadan
Common Drug Interactions
- Alcohol: Although topical metronidazole is unlikely to cause serious systemic effects, patients are generally advised to avoid alcohol during treatment, as oral metronidazole is known to interact with alcohol, leading to nausea or vomiting.
- Other topical medications: Concurrent use of other irritating topical agents (like retinoids, acids, or alcohol-based products) may increase the risk of skin irritation.
Alternatives to Rosadan
- Finacea (azelaic acid): A topical medication used to treat the inflammatory lesions of rosacea by reducing redness and swelling.
- Soolantra (ivermectin): Another topical treatment for rosacea that reduces inflammation and treats skin mites (Demodex), which may contribute to rosacea symptoms.
- MetroGel/MetroCream: Other brands of topical metronidazole for treating rosacea.
- Mirvaso (brimonidine): A topical gel that temporarily reduces redness in rosacea by constricting blood vessels.
