How it works

Capsaicin activates TRPV1 receptors, initially causing burning then causing reversible desensitization of nociceptors and depletion of substance P — reducing pain signal generation over time with consistent use.

Why compounded?

OTC capsaicin tops out at 0.075%. Prescription Qutenza (8%) requires clinical administration at $1,500+. Compounding allows 0.1–5% concentrations for home use with sustained long-term treatment.
