What is Qutenza®?
Qutenza® is a patch that can provide 3 months of pain relief from a single, 1-hour application. Qutenza® is designed to deliver medicine into the skin, right to the nerves that cause pain after shingles. The medicine in Qutenza® is capsaicin, a substance naturally found in chili peppers. Qutenza® is the first and only pure, concentrated, synthetic capsaicin prescription drug.
