How do I take MetroCream?

Only use MetroCream as often as your doctor has told you to, usually one or two times a day. Before each application, clean and dry the affected skin. Gently rub a thin layer of the cream over your skin until it vanishes. Wait at least five minutes before applying any cosmetic products to the area where you used MetroCream.

What if I forget to take a dose of MetroCream?

If you miss a dose of MetroCream, apply the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed one and resume your normal routine. Do not apply more of the cream than you normally would; this may increase your risk for skin irritation.

What happens if I overdose on MetroCream?

You are unlikely to overdose on MetroCream when applying it to your skin, but this medication can be harmful when swallowed. If you or someone in your home has swallowed some of this topical cream, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 right away.

Before taking MetroCream, tell your doctor if:

• You are allergic to this or any other medications

• You are taking any other prescription or non-prescription drugs or supplements

• You have a blood disorder

• You are breastfeeding, pregnant, or trying to become pregnant

What are the possible side effects of taking MetroCream?

How do I store MetroCream?
