Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female, 18 years of age or older.
  • Signed informed consent form, which meets all criteria of current FDA regulations.

  • Have moderate to severe facial rosacea.
  • Have a Baseline Investigator Global Evaluation Score of 3 or 4.

You may not qualify if:

  • Mild facial rosacea (less than 8 inflammatory lesions on the face) or very severe rosacea (more than 50 inflammatory lesions)
  • Patients with excessive facial hair (beards, sideburns, moustaches, etc.) that would interfere with the diagnosis or assessment of rosacea.
  • History of hypersensitivity or allergy to Metronidazole, or other ingredients of the formulation.
  • Use of oral retinoids (e.g. Accutane ®) or therapeutic vitamin A supplements of greater than 10,000 units/day (multivitamins are allowed) within the 6 months prior to the baseline visit.
  • Use of the following within 1 month prior to the baseline visit:
  • Topical Retinoids to the face
  • Systemic antibiotics known to have an impact on the severity of facial Rosacea
  • Systemic Steroids
  • The use of anticoagulant therapy within 14 days prior to baseline.
  • The use of any antipruritics, including antihistamines within 24 hours of any study visits.
  • History of blood dyscrasia.
  • Ocular rosacea (e.g., conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis) of sufficient severity to require topical or systemic antibiotics.
  • Any dermatological condition other than rosacea that in the Investigator's opinion may interfere with the evaluation of the Patient's rosacea (e.g., acne, psoriasis, dermatitis).
  • Females who are pregnant, lactating or likely to become pregnant during the study.
  • Significant history or current evidence of chronic infectious disease, system disorder, organ disorder or other medical condition that in the Investigator's opinion would place the study Patient at undue risk by participation.
