Product introduction

Topmetro Gel is meant for external use only. It should be applied only to the affected area of the skin as per the dosage and schedule prescribed by your doctor. In order to get the most benefit, apply it regularly. Do not use larger amounts or apply it more often or for a longer duration than directed. This will only increase the risk of side effects.

Common side effects include dry skin, erythema, and application site reactions like minor burning, stinging, or irritation. These are usually temporary and resolve quickly. Consult your doctor if any of these persist or if your condition does not improve.

Before using it, inform your doctor if you have any previous history of allergy to it or any other medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using it. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the medicine in these areas.

Benefits of Topmetro Gel

Treatment of Bacterial skin infections
Topmetro Gel helps treat various bacterial skin and wound infections, including those caused by anaerobic bacteria commonly found in conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, surgical wounds, and infected cuts or abrasions. It kills the bacteria responsible for infection and reduces the discharge, odor, and inflammation that often accompany these wounds. When used as instructed, it helps the skin heal faster, prevents the spread of infection, and restores healthy tissue.

Treatment of Inflammatory conditions
Topmetro Gel helps manage inflammatory skin conditions like rosacea and acneiform eruptions, where redness, swelling, and tenderness are common. Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritated skin, reduce bumps and pimples, and relieve discomfort. When used regularly and as prescribed, it helps improve the appearance and texture of the skin, providing visible relief and helping patients regain comfort.

How to use Topmetro Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Topmetro Gel works

Topmetro Gel is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that works by entering bacterial cells and disrupting their DNA, leading to the death of the bacteria that cause infection. In addition to its antimicrobial effect, it also helps reduce inflammation by decreasing the production of irritating substances in the skin. This dual action helps control infection, reduce redness and swelling, and promote faster healing of wounds and inflammatory skin conditions.

Quick tips

Avoid getting Topmetro Gel in the eyes or nostrils, or mouth. If it happens, rinse it out with plenty of warm water.
It may cause skin irritation and rash. If this happens, use it less frequently or stop using it for a few days. If irritation persists, consult your doctor.
Avoid exposing the treated areas to strong sunlight, as this can make the treatment less effective.
