Why does Qutenza® have to be applied by my doctor or healthcare professional?
Qutenza® contains pure, concentrated, synthetic capsaicin capable of producing irritation of the eyes, skin, or other parts of the body. It must be handled by a doctor or healthcare professional who is familiar with proper Qutenza® administration, handling it with special gloves, and disposal to prevent accidental contact with Qutenza®. Also, your blood pressure needs to be monitored during your treatment because the response to pain during the treatment may cause blood pressure to increase.
