Qutenza is a new product that can help make nerves less sensitive with those dealing with diabetic nerve pain, and shingles. In episode 7 of NeuroPod, Kevin Bennett and Toni Egharevba discuss the benefits of this all important product available at Neuropathy Treatment Clinic of Oklahoma. If you are being affected by shingles or diabetic nerve pain in the feet, we can provide relief. Educate yourself on how Qutenza works, what it’s used for, and what the key ingredients are.
 
Qutenza activates receptors in the skin that are involved in pain signaling. These pain sensing receptors are expressed on sensory nerve fibers throughout the body. The positive effects that you get from the Qutenza patch could last up to 3 months.
 
Qutenza is used for treating post-shingles nerve pain and for the treatment of diabetic nerve pain of the feet in adult patients. The key ingredients are capsaicin that is also found in hot chili peppers. It contains 8% capsaicin which is prescription strength - this differs from other over-the-counter capsaicin products in that it’s concentration is significantly higher.

It is our goal to provide education on the products and services that we have at NTCO. Learn more about Qutenza by listening to episode 7 of NeuroPod.
