How Zostrix HP Cream Works
The Science Behind Zostrix HP
Zostrix HP works by depleting Substance P, a neurotransmitter involved in transmitting pain signals to the brain. Capsaicin, the active ingredient, initially causes a warming sensation, followed by a reduction in pain perception over time.

- Targeted Application: Applied directly to the affected area for localized pain management.
- Non-Greasy Formula: Offers a comfortable application experience, leaving no residue.
