Can you use moisturizer after applying metronidazole?

Yes, you can use moisturizer after applying metronidazole. It's generally recommended to wait until the metronidazole has fully absorbed, which usually takes about 20-30 minutes, before applying moisturizer. This helps ensure that the medication remains effective while also keeping your skin hydrated. However, always follow your healthcare provider's advice regarding specific skincare routines while using metronidazole.
