Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hi all - I have a couple of questions about the metro creams. Are they the most common topical treatments? What I mean is, are they the most prescribed by doctors? It seems from the posts that the first course of treatment for a new R patient is antibiotics and one of the metros. Would you all agree? Also, I read somewhere that the metros are a topical antibiotic - is that true? I'm working on an article about R and want to get my facts straight. Trying to articulate this disease has been quite a challenge.
