Capcidol Lotion 20ml

Capcidol Lotion contains Capsaicin as its active ingredient. Capsaicin is derived from chili peppers and is known for its analgesic properties. Capcidol Lotion is formulated for topical application to provide temporary relief from certain types of pain.

Uses:

• Capcidol Lotion is indicated for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains, sprains, and backaches.
• It works by desensitizing nerve endings in the skin, leading to a temporary reduction in pain sensation.

How It Works:

• Capsaicin, the active ingredient in Capcidol Lotion, acts as a natural pain reliever by stimulating the release of substance P, a neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of pain signals.
• With repeated application, capsaicin can deplete substance P stores in nerve endings, leading to a reduction in pain sensitivity over time.

Dosage:

• The recommended dosage of Capcidol Lotion may vary depending on the severity of pain and individual response to treatment.
• It is typically applied topically to the affected area up to 3-4 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Hands should be washed thoroughly after applying Capcidol Lotion to avoid accidental contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes or mucous membranes.

Precautions:

• Capcidol Lotion is for external use only and should not be ingested or applied to open wounds or damaged skin.
• It may cause a temporary burning or stinging sensation upon application, which is normal and usually subsides after repeated use.
• Avoid applying Capcidol Lotion to areas of the skin that are excessively sensitive, irritated, or inflamed.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects of Capcidol Lotion may include temporary redness, irritation, or burning at the application site.
• In rare cases, individuals may experience an allergic reaction characterized by severe itching, swelling, or rash. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if any adverse reactions occur.

When Not to Use:

• Capcidol Lotion should not be used in individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to capsaicin or any of the inactive ingredients in the formulation.
• It is contraindicated in patients with broken or irritated skin, as well as those with conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
