Rozex Gel

Rozex gel contains the active ingredient Metronidazole, which is an antibiotic. Rozex attacks the bacteria which are responsible for the symptoms associated rosacea. This results in skin looking less red and inflamed and reduces the likelihood of experiencing outbreaks.

If you miss a dose, then treatment should be applied as soon as you remember. If this is close to when the next dose would be due, do not apply a double dose. Instead continue as normal from when the next dose would be due.

No data exists in relation to overdosage in humans. Animal studies showed no toxic effects.

Rozex is a prescription only medicine. This means that the medication can only be issued following the presentation of a valid NHS or Private prescription. At PrivateDoc we have a team of GMC and GPhC registered doctors and pharmacists, all with many years of experience in prescribing for skincare issues. Once a consultation is completed, this is reviewed by one of our prescribers. If deemed appropriate, a prescription is issued and sent securely to our GPhC registered pharmacy, where the treatment will be dispensed and shipped securely.

Rozex gel is a topical treatment indicated for the inflammation caused by rosacea.

The effects of Rozex gel in pregnant females has not been established. In animal studies, metronidazole did cross the placenta and enter the foetal circulation (no toxicity was observed though). However, as animal studies are not always indicative of human response, use of Rozex gel should be limited in pregnancy unless clearly needed.

Metronidazole is excreted in breast milk, but concentrations absorbed via topical administration are likely to be low. The decision to prescribe to a breastfeeding mother should be based on the need for the drug versus the benefit of breastfeeding a child (in which case the cream should be discontinued).
