Description

Zo-rub osteo cream is for the symptomatic relief of pain associated with osteoarthritis. Zo-rub osteo cream contains capsaicin (0.025%), a naturally occurring substance found in plants of the solanaceae family. Research has shown that zo-rub osteo cream works by reducing levels of a chemical (substance p), which is involved in transmitting pain impulses to the brain. Substance p is released into joints and activates other compounds involved in osteoarthritis. As Zo-rub osteo cream reduces the amount of substance p, it has a pain relieving effect when applied to the surface of the skin.

Directions

Apply a small amount to the affected joint 3-4 times daily.
