QUTENZA is a topical capsaicin patch indicated for the treatment of neuropathic pain, particularly postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Applied as a transdermal patch, capsaicin works by depleting substance P, a neuropeptide involved in pain transmission, providing localized pain relief at the application site. The product represents a non-systemic approach to managing chronic neuropathic pain conditions where oral analgesics may be ineffective or poorly tolerated.
