Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.drugs.com/mtm/capsaicin-topical.html http://www.rxlist.com/qutenza-drug.htm http://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Capsaicin

Capsaicin is a topical analgesic that is FDA approved for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia. Capsaicin is most often used as a topical analgesic and exists in many formulations of cream, liquid, and patch preparations of various strengths; however, it may also be found in some dietary supplements. Capsaicin is a naturally-occurring botanical irritant in chili peppers, synthetically derived for pharmaceutical formulations. Capsaicin is an agonist for the transient receptor potential vanilloid I receptor (TRPVI), which is an ion channel-receptor complex expressed on nociceptive nerve fibers in the skin. Common adverse reactions include erythema, rash, pruritus, nausea.
