Metrogyl Gel 2% is a topical antibacterial gel from J.B. Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals that contains metronidazole 2% w/w in a water soluble gel base. Metronidazole is an antimicrobial that works against certain bacteria and protozoa, and in a gel form it is applied directly on the affected skin. Doctors commonly prescribe this type of gel for infected skin conditions, inflamed lesions, and for the odour and bacterial load linked with open or chronic wounds. The water based gel spreads easily, feels light on the skin and does not leave a greasy residue. It is meant for external use only and should be used exactly as your doctor has advised, as a thin film over the washed and dried area. This is a prescription medicine, so keep your prescription ready when you order.
