There is no question that Metrogel is very effective. The real crime in this though is that it is a much lower dosage of Tetracycline which you could get at 250mg and 60 pills for a $10 copay.

I got this prescription yesterday for my rosacea. I used it at night and again in the morning. Amazingly, I already saw a difference. I can't believe it is actually this easy to get rid of rosacea. I hope it continues to get better.
