Contains Capsaicin (0.075%) in a high potency, easy to use cream formulation. Significantly reduces pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia and arthritis.
Post herpetic neuralgia is a painful, life altering condition that can result from shingles. This is where the pain remains or even intensifies after the resolution of the rash. Fortunately, this is not seen in the majority of patients, but when it does occur, you need relief!
Capsaicin helps to deplete a chemical called Substance P that goes between the nerve ending, which translates into the sensation of pain. It takes approximately 5-7 days for this to occur.
Capsaicin is derived from the red hot chili pepper and can cause pain when it is applied to the skin until Substance P has been depleted!
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying Zostrix HP Cream to prevent carrying it to the eyes, etc.
Ingredients: Contains Capsaicin (0.075%), Benzyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Monostearate, Isopropyl Myristate, PEG-100 Stearate, Purified Water, Sorbitol Solution and White Petrolatum.
