Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, Metrogel-Vaginal or Metromidol?
Pharmacies pay about the same to acquire either one — roughly $0.10 per gm, per the CMS NADAC survey. That is not what you will be charged: your price is set by your insurer and the pharmacy, not by what the drug cost them.
What is the difference between Metrogel-Vaginal and Metromidol?
Both Metrogel-Vaginal and Metromidol share the active ingredient Metronidazole.
