What is Metrocream, and who sells it?
Metrocream is a brand of topical metronidazole (commonly used for skin conditions such as rosacea, depending on local indications). The price varies by country, the strength (e.g., 0.75% or 1%), and pack size, and it may be sold by pharmacies or as a prescription item depending on local rules.
How much does Metrocream cost (typical price range)?
I can’t give a reliable price without your location and the product details (strength and pack size). Prices differ widely between countries and even between pharmacies.
If you share:
- your country (or city),
- the strength written on the tube (e.g., 0.75% or 1%),
- pack size (tube size, like 20 g / 30 g / 50 g),
I can help you pin down the most likely current pricing and what to compare.
What affects Metrocream price the most?
The biggest drivers are usually:
- metronidazole strength and tube size,
- whether it is prescription-only in your area,
- brand vs generic metronidazole cream,
- pharmacy pricing and any discounts,
- insurance coverage (if applicable).
Is there a cheaper generic option?
Often, generic metronidazole topical creams sell for less than the branded Metrocream, especially when the active ingredient and strength match. Checking the percentage (strength) is key so you don’t accidentally compare products with different formulations.
Can prices differ between online and in-store pharmacies?
Yes. Online listings may show lower prices, but final cost can change after shipping, tax, or pharmacy fees. Some sellers also list different strengths or tube sizes under the same brand name, which changes the effective cost.

Reply with your:
1) country (and preferably city),

3) tube size (e.g., 20 g),
and I’ll help you estimate the current price and suggest the closest equivalent to compare.
