About Zostrix HP Topical Analgesic Cream 45g
Zostrix HP (High Potency) Topical Analgesic Cream is a clinically proven treatment for the relief of nerve-related pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as post-herpetic neuralgia (pain following shingles) and painful diabetic neuropathy .
Formulated with a high concentration of capsaicin 0.075% , Zostrix HP works by depleting substance P , a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. With regular use, this reduces pain intensity and improves quality of life for individuals experiencing chronic nerve pain.
This 45g tube is convenient for long-term management and provides targeted pain relief when applied directly to affected areas.

How should I store Zostrix HP Topical Analgesic Cream 45g?
Refer to the on-pack storage instructions. As a general principle, diabetes supplies should be stored below 25-30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Insulin and biological products may need refrigeration before opening — always check the specific product labelling for Zostrix.
