Capsinac
Capsinac, or Capsaicin, is a topical cream used as a local analgesic. It's primarily used to treat minor aches and pains of muscles/joints such as arthritis, backache, strains, and sprains. Capsaicin works by decreasing a certain natural substance in your body (substance P) that helps transmit pain signals to the brain. It's not for simple headaches or other nonmusclerelated pains. Some of its common side effects include a mild burning sensation upon application, which generally lessens over time.
