Acne and other imperfections of the skin inspire a lot of complexes relative to their own appearance. Often, adolescents face such problems during puberty, however, there are cases when inflammation occurs in people of a more mature age under the influence of external and internal factors. In the fight against skin rashes, Rosamet antibacterial cream comes to the rescue, the action of which is aimed at the complete destruction of the causative agent of acne.
Material Content:
The composition of the antibacterial cream
The presence of the antimicrobial substance metronidazole at the base of the drug makes the drug as effective as possible in the treatment of acute inflammatory processes caused by the multiplication of pathogenic microflora. So, metronidazole destroys the dangerous bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which, as it turned out on the basis of medical research, can provoke the occurrence of rosacea.
The component is also active against fungi and gram-positive anaerobic bacteria - the main causative agents of acne. A powerful therapeutic effect is achieved due to the antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antiprotozoal properties of the active substance. In addition, the composition of the cream has a pronounced antioxidant effect, blocking the harmful effects of free radicals on the skin.
In addition to metronidazole, the antibacterial cream contains:
- glycerol;
- emulsifier;
- purified water;
- liquid paraffin;
- preservatives.
The cost of acne cream in a pharmacy varies from 200 to 300 rubles.
What is Rosamet cream prescribed for?
The remedy is usually prescribed by dermatologists for the treatment of acne, rosacea, as well as pustular rashes of the skin. The regenerating effect of the drug helps to restore the integrity of damaged tissues, thereby eliminating the effects of inflammation in the form of post-acne. Thanks to Metronidazole, Rosamet cream is also used to treat such inflammatory processes of the external genitalia as balanoposthitis and vulvovaginitis.
Note: a broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug does not provoke the appearance of telangiectasias, a tendency to which appears in patients with rosacea as a result of a weakening of the vasculature.
Cream "Rosamet" is also prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris that occur against the background of serious hormonal disorders within the body.
Instructions for use of the drug
Antibacterial cream is intended exclusively for external use. A thin layer of the drug is treated only damaged areas of the epithelium twice a day: morning and evening. Prior to use, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin from accumulated dirt and decorative cosmetics. The duration of therapy depends on the severity of the clinical symptoms of acne, as well as the degree of damage to the skin.
Usually, dermatologists prescribe a medication for a period of several weeks to 4 months. Due to the powerful anti-inflammatory effect, the effect of the application is noticeable after the first week of treatment. In this case, it is important to conduct a course of therapy to the very end, to prevent the risk of new foci of inflammation. In the treatment of genital organs, a small amount of cream is applied to the damaged mucosa twice a day, and the duration of the treatment course is no more than 10 days.
Important! Avoid contact with ophthalmic mucosa, so as not to cause excessive tearing, swelling and subsequent allergies. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse the mucous membrane immediately with plenty of warm water.
During pregnancy and lactation
The active component of metronidazole when administered orally is able to penetrate the placenta, thereby causing serious harm to the developing fetus in the womb. In the case of a cream that is prescribed for local use, this effect is significantly reduced.
However, gynecologists, as a rule, do not prescribe a medication in the first trimester after conception, as well as during lactation in order to avoid various complications. At later stages of pregnancy, Rosamet acne cream is prescribed by specialists exclusively in case of urgent need.
Drug interaction
During the interaction of the drug under discussion with other drugs, no side effects were recorded. However, due to some features of metronidazole, doctors recommend using the cream with caution in combination with other medicines.
It is important to take into account some properties of the active substance:
- metronidazole together with disulfiram can lead to intoxication of the body, thus provoking disturbances in the activity of the nervous system;
- during treatment, it is necessary to exclude any alcoholic beverages in order to prevent the occurrence of a disulfiram-like reaction;
- cimetidine reduces the process of excretion of metronidazole, thereby increasing the permissible norm of the active substance in the blood.
Contraindications, side effects and overdose
Contraindications include:
- first trimester of pregnancy and lactation;
- individual intolerance of the active substances that make up the drug;
- children under 12 years old.
In order to avoid an allergic reaction, it is recommended to conduct a sensitivity test first.
For this, a small amount of cream is applied to the back of the palm of the hand and the skin reaction is monitored.Side effects often appear due to non-compliance with the rules for using the drug or with an increase in the allowable dose of the drug. They are accompanied by a painful burning sensation, itching, redness of the treated areas, as well as an allergic rash and urticaria.
Analogs
The drug in question is inexpensive and highly effective.
However, the pharmaceutical industry also offers other creams with a similar composition and effect:
- Klion is the best analogue of Rosamet cream, the active ingredients of which are metronidazole and triclosan. This combined preparation violates the membrane structure of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby inhibiting their further reproduction. Active against gram-negative aerobic bacteria, used for the treatment of rosacea, eczema, acne and other dermatological diseases of an inflammatory nature. You can buy ointment at a price from 89 to 449 rubles.
- “Rosex cream” - in addition to metronidazole, it contains lactic acid, which has an excellent exfoliating and regenerating effect. The drug is most effective in the treatment of papulopustular rashes caused by the presence of rosacea. Contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Cost - 628 rubles.
However, it is not worth it to replace the drug prescribed by a specialist with any of its analogues. Despite the similar principle of action, their compositions are excellent, and therefore can cause completely unexpected negative effects.
