Medipharm Capsaicin Topical Cream

Description

Capsaicin cream is one of the products of Kish Medipharm Pharmaceutical Company, which is produced as a topical cream with concentrations of 0.025% and 0.075%. This product is available in 30 mg packages. Capsaicin cream is an active chemical compound found in red pepper and is used as a topical medication to relieve pain and inflammation.

Capsaicin works by affecting receptors in the skin that are sensitive to heat and chemical stimuli. Using capsaicin cream activates these receptors and causes the release of a substance called Substance P, which is involved in transmitting pain signals to the brain. After repeated use of capsaicin cream, the stores of Substance P decrease, resulting in a decrease in pain sensation. Capsaicin cream is also known by some as pepper cream.
