📋Overview
Qutenza is a prescription medication that contains a high concentration of capsaicin, a compound derived from chili peppers. It is primarily used to manage certain types of nerve pain, such as neuropathic pain associated with conditions like postherpetic neuralgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Qutenza works by affecting pain signals in the nerves, helping to reduce discomfort in affected areas. It is typically considered when other pain management options have not provided sufficient relief.
