Adults:
18 years of age and older: Apply a thin film of Capsaicin cream to affected area 3 to 4 times daily. A burning sensation may occur upon application, but generally disappears with regular use. Application schedules of 3 to 4 times a day for 2 weeks provides optimum pain relief.
Side Effects
Transient burning sensation during initial treatment may occur, especially if too much cream is applied or if it isn't used often enough (fewer than 3-4 times a day). This usually settles down after a few days of continued use.

Avoid taking a hot shower or bath right before or after applying Topicacin, as it may increase the burning sensation. Wash your hands immediately after use, and do not apply it under tight bandages.

Capsaicin cream should not be applied to skin that is broken, cut, or already irritated. It should also be avoided by anyone known to be hypersensitive to capsaicin or to any of the other ingredients used in the product.
