What is Capzasin?
Capzasin is a topical non-prescription cream or gel intended to relieve pain from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, backaches, sprains, and bruises. The active ingredient in Capzasin, capsaicin, is an analgesic derived from peppers that relieves pain in the skin, joints, and muscles by preventing nerves from sending pain signals to the brain. Capzasin is rubbed on the skin over the affected joint, muscle, or skin. Pain relief will not be noticeable for a few days or even a couple of weeks.
What are the side effects of Capzasin?
Side effects of Capzasin are common and involve temporary site reactions to the ingredients. Because capsaicin is derived from peppers, most patients will experience burning, stinging, itching, and redness for as long as 48 hours after application. Over time, this burning and itching will reduce with repeated use.
Some patients experience severe burning, stinging, and itching; if the pain is intolerable, wash the site with soap and cold water. Warm water, hot water, heat, and sunlight will make the burning, stinging, and itching at the application site worse.
Contact with the eye can be very painful and last for several hours, so wear latex gloves when applying Capzasin to the skin. When applying Capzasin to the hand, avoid contact with the face for 30 minutes and then wash your hands with soap and cold water.
Allergic reactions are rare, but you should discontinue the use of Capzasin if you notice a rash, swelling, or start to have trouble breathing.
