Zostrix Cream contains an active ingredient called Capsaicin which naturally occurs in red hot chilli peppers. Capsaicin is a natural and powerful pain reliever.  For osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis pain, the original strength Zostrix Cream is advised. For post herpetic neuralgia or diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain, the extra strength Zostrix HP Cream is advised.

Zostrix Cream works gradually, taking up to 4-6 weeks to take full effect and fully ease the pain. It works with the body's chemistry to lower the level of Substance P, which is the body's "pain messenger" that sends pain impulses to the brain. By using Zostrix cream daily the capsaicin builds up, the amount of Substance P is reduced in the joints as well as the body's system and the pain fades providing relief.

Arthritis is a crippling disease, and refers to nearly 100 inflammatory conditions that affect joints as well as the connective tissue. The two most common forms are:

  • Osteoarthritis, is known as the wear-and-tear arthritis and is characterized by deterioration of articular cartilage, bone hypertrophy as well as changes in the synovial membrane.  It effects mainly older people, with as many as 80% of 65 years olds experiencing it.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis, is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that afflicts sufferers in several joints more often in the hands and feet. It occurs at a young age and is more common in woman.

There is no cure for these forms of arthritis, but there are a number of treatment options that can help with the pain and inflammation associated with them including Zostrix cream.

 

Zostrix Cream Directions: Lightly massage a small amount of cream fully into the skin around the affected joint, FOUR times a day at regular intervals. Wash hands immediately after use, unless the hands are being treated.

  • Capsaicin USP - 0.025% w/w
