DESCRIPTION:
Metronidazole Gel USP, 0.75% contains metronidazole, USP, at a
concentration of 7.5
mg per gram (0.75%) in a gel consisting of carbomer homopolymer NF,
edetate
disodium,methylparaben, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified
water, and sodium
hydroxide. Metronidazole is classified therapeutically as an
antiprotozoal and antibacterial
agent. Chemically, metronidazole is named 2-methyl-5-nitro-1
_H_-imidazole-1-ethanol and
has the following structure:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
Bioavailability studies on the topical administration of 1 gram of
Metronidazole Gel (7.5
mg of metronidazole) to the face of 10 rosacea patients showed a
maximum serum
concentration of 66 nanograms per milliliter in one patient. This
concentration is
approximately 100 times less than concentrations afforded by a single
250 mg oral
tablet. The serum metronidazole concentrations were below the
detectable limits of the
assay at the majority of time points in all patients. Three of the
patients had no
detectable serum concentrations of metronidazole at any time point.
The mean dose of
gel applied during clinical studies was 600 mg which represents 4.5 mg
of metronidazole
per application. Therefore, under normal usage levels, the formulation
affords minimal
serum concentrations of metronidazole. The mechanisms by which
Metronidazole Gel
acts in the treatment of rosacea are unknown, but appear to include an
anti-
inflammatory effect.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE:
Metronidazole Gel USP is indicated for topical application in the
treatment of
inflammatory papules and pustules of rosacea.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Metronidazole Gel is contraindicated in individuals with a history of
hypersensitivity to
metronidazole, parabens, or other ingredients of the formulation.
