Notes:
Metronidazole, an imldazole, is an antibiotic with established efficacy against anaerobic bacteria. To date, however, there are no published data concerning the efficacy of topical metronidazole in the treatment of acne. This randomized, double-blind prospective clinical study of 96 patients was performed to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of 0.75% metronidazole gel vs. placebo in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. The results of this study showed no significant benefit in using 0.75% metronidazole gel over placebo in reducing counts of inflamed and non-inflamed lesions of acne. There was also no statistically significant difference between the two groups at any stage in the trial when skin tolerability was assessed.
