CreamWhat is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Zostrix Overview
Zostrix is used to treat minor aches and pains of the muscles/joints (such as arthritis, backache, sprains). Capsaicin works by decreasing a certain natural substance in your body (substance P) that helps pass pain signals to the brain.
How to Use Zostrix
Use Zostrix on the skin only. Follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. For the cream, gel, and lotion forms, apply a thin layer of medication to the affected area and rub in gently and thoroughly. You may want to use a cotton ball/swab or latex glove to apply the medication to avoid touching the medication with your hands. Do not apply the medication in the eyes, mouth, nostrils, or genitals. If you do get the medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water. Also, do not apply Zostrix to skin that is injured or irritated (for example, cut, scraped, sunburned). Do not apply Zostrix immediately before or after activities such as bathing, swimming, sun bathing, or heavy exercise. Do not bandage or wrap the affected area or use a heating pad on that area. Doing so may increase the risk of side effects. After applying the medication, wash your hands unless you are using Zostrix to treat the hands. If treating the hands, wait at least 30 minutes after applying the medication to wash your hands. Use Zostrix regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Zostrix may sometimes take up to 2 months to work. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts for more than 7 days, if it gets worse, or if it keeps returning. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.
Zostrix Precautions
Before using capsaicin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to zucapsaicin; or to hot peppers (from the Capsicum family); or to lidocaine or other local anesthetics that may be in your brand; or if you have any other allergies. Zostrix may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. If you are going to have an MRI test, tell testing personnel if you are using the patch. Some patches may contain metals that can cause serious burns during an MRI. Ask your doctor whether you will need to remove your patch before the test and apply a new patch afterward, and how to do so properly. During pregnancy, Zostrix should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known whether Zostrix passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Zostrix Misdose
If you miss a dose of Zostrix, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Zostrix Interactions
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval. Before using capsaicin products containing lidocaine or other local anesthetics, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take class I antiarrhythmic drugs (such as mexiletine, quinidine). Capsaicin is very similar to zucapsaicin. Do not use medications containing zucapsaicin while using capsaicin.
