Zostrix HP Cream is a topical pain relief formula you can buy to treat muscle or joint pain from strains, sprains, arthritis. Zostrix HP Cream has also been effective at relieving nerve pain caused by herpes zoster, better known as shingles. Capsaicin is derived from red hot chili peppers and is the active ingredient in Zostrix HP Cream, which is a natural and powerful pain reliever.

Zostrix HP Cream works with your own chemistry to lower your level of Substance P, which acts as your body’s pain messenger. SP transmits feelings of pain and anxiety by relaying signals to your central nervous system so by reducing Substance P, your pain is reduced. You can buy Zostrix HP Cream without a prescription.

You may have to undergo regular applications of Zostrix HP Cream for a period of up to two weeks before you notice a decrease in your pain as it can take that long to decrease Substance P levels for some people. After applying Zostrix HP Cream to the affected area you may experience a tingling or burning sensation-this is normal and should decrease with use. Talk to a pharmacist or your doctor about other side effects and read the drug leaflet carefully and thoroughly to achieve the desired effects in a safe manner.
