Qutenza In Modesto, CA

Qutenza (capsaicin) 8% topical system is indicated in adults for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and for neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) of the feet.

Administration Information

Qutenza is a topical system that contains capsaicin. Topical treatments are applied for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, depending on the indication.

Qutenza contains prescription-strength capsaicin capable of producing severe irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory tract, and skin. A healthcare professional will administer Qutenza.

Your blood pressure may be monitored periodically during and following treatment because pain during the treatment may cause your blood pressure to increase.
