ZOSTRIX is a topical analgesic cream available as: Zostrix 0.025% (pictured) and Zostrix-HP 0.075% for the treatment of pain associated with arthritis, diabetic neuropathy and pain after shingles. Zostrix is made from purified pharmacological capsaicin, a natural substance found in chilli peppers. Capsaicin works with the body's chemistry to lower the level of Substance P, the principal neurotransmitter of pain. Regular application of Zostrix will deplete Substance P, decreasing pain gradually. Full pain relief may take 4-6 weeks. Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare professional.
