Buy Zostrix Online

(Capsaicin)

The active ingredient in Zostrix is capsaicin. Capsaicin is a topical analgesic derived from chili peppers and works by affecting substance P, a natural chemical in the body involved in transmitting nerve pain signals. With repeated use, capsaicin reduces the amount of substance P in the nerve endings of the treated area, which helps lower the sensation of nerve pain over time.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Zostrix. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Zostrix:
