Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 I was wondering if anyone knew if it's okay that I'm taking 250 mg metro orally 3X a day, and I'm using metrocream 2X a day. My skin looks good now. Been doing it for about a month now. Is this overdosing? How long should I continue? Is it possible to have a glass of wine while on this?
