Product Overview:
Zidoval Gel contains Metronidazole 1%, an antimicrobial agent used for the topical treatment of rosacea. Metronidazole works by reducing the inflammatory lesions and redness associated with rosacea, which is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria and other microorganisms on the skin. Zidoval provides effective relief from rosacea symptoms, helping to reduce papules, pustules, and redness of the skin.
