How Does it Work
Niacinamide 4%/Metronidazole 1% Topical Cream is an effective medication for treating Rosacea in women. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It helps to reduce redness, swelling, and irritation of the skin. Metronidazole, an antibiotic, targets the bacteria that can cause rosacea flare-ups and helps to reduce their proliferation. Together, the two components help to reduce the symptoms of rosacea while calming and protecting the skin. This topical cream can be applied twice a day to the affected areas. It is well-tolerated by most patients, but some may experience skin irritation, dryness, and a burning sensation when applying it. It is important for women taking this medication to avoid sun exposure and to wear sunscreen to protect their skin from UV damage. In some cases, the topical cream may need to be used in conjunction with antibiotic therapy or other medications, so close monitoring by a doctor is recommended.
