- 1). Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing or if you are planning a pregnancy, before using MetroGel. It is also important that you tell your doctor what other medications you are using -- both prescription and over-the-counter drugs -- as well as any allergies you have, before adding this medication to your regimen.
- 2). Wash your hands and dry them before beginning. You will also need to wash your hands again after handling MetroGel.
- 3). Cleanse your face before treating it with MetroGel. It is important to let your skin dry thoroughly, for about 15 minutes, before applying the medication.
- 4). Place a small amount of MetroGel on your finger. Using your fingers, apply the medication to your face in a thin, even layer.
- 5). Use other cosmetic preparations only after you have allowed the MetroGel to dry completely on your skin. Waiting approximately 5 minutes is a good rule of thumb.
- 6). Apply this medication on a consistent, regular basis to obtain the best results. Following a regular schedule for use -- such as in the morning and before you go to bed -- may help you to avoid missing doses of MetroGel.
