Hello
My doctor prescribed me the rozex cream last week because I have been suffering from papulo pustular rosacea for a good 1 month. It's August and I didn't dare to put it on because of the sun given what is noted in the instructions. My doctor prescribed it to me 2 times a day. I wanted to know if I only apply it in the evening during the summer, is there any risk of reaction to the sun during the day knowing that I will put on sunscreen 50 to go out or even take my car?

Rozex cream (metronidazole) can indeed cause hypersensitivity to sunlight, so caution is advised during the summer.
You can use it in the morning and evening. Remember to apply a high sunscreen (SPF 50+) in the morning after applying Rozex and avoid direct sunlight. If, despite everything, the skin reacts with irritation, it is better to limit yourself to using it only in the evening during strong sunlight. Also, avoid sunbathing and staying in the sun for long periods of time, even in the car.
