Let’s continue our discussion on following instructions for Metrogel. We already know that we are supposed to apply a thin layer and rub in gently after you have washed , rinsed well, and dried the affected area. Use this medicine as soon as possible if you miss a dose unless it is close to your next application time. You need to skip the missed dose if it is close to your next dose because you should never put on two doses of this medicine. Metrogel should never be placed near or in the eyes. Remember to wash your hands after use. Do not forget storage.
You also need to follow instructions for proper storage. If you do not store this product correctly, you could reduce its effectiveness. Metrogel needs to be stored at room temperature away from moisture and sunlight unless the label on your box states otherwise. This mostly applies to the topical Metrogel. It is also important to inform your dermatologist of any other medicine, vitamins, or herbs you are already taking. We tend to forget about cross interactions. A medicine you are currently on could prevent Metrogel from working effectively. Moreover, another medicine, vitamin, or herb you are currently taking could exacerbate side effects.
