    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting facial skin.
    • Current treatments include antibiotics and topical agents, with varying efficacy and side effect profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of topical metronidazole 1% cream for rosacea treatment.
    • To compare metronidazole cream with a placebo in a controlled clinical trial.

    Main Methods:

    • A Norwegian, double-blind, multi-centre clinical trial.
    • 97 patients with rosacea were randomized to receive either metronidazole 1% cream or placebo cream twice daily.
    • Treatment duration was eight weeks.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant improvement in rosacea symptoms was observed in the metronidazole group compared to the placebo group.
    • No significant adverse side effects were reported with metronidazole cream application.
    • Metronidazole cream demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile.

    Conclusions:

    • Topical metronidazole 1% cream is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for papulopustular rosacea.
    • Metronidazole cream presents a viable alternative to oral tetracycline therapy for managing rosacea.
    • Further research into long-term efficacy and safety is warranted.
