QUTENZA: Something different awaits
In clinical studies, QUTENZA has been shown to relieve pain for up to 3 months in people with post-shingles nerve pain. QUTENZA has been shown to be effective for patients who are already taking other pain medicines. QUTENZA is unlikely to interact with other medicines you may be taking. Like any medicine, QUTENZA may not work for everyone. Only you and your doctor can decide if QUTENZA is right for you.
How quickly QUTENZA may work for you
In a clinical study, some patients with post-shingles nerve pain began to feel pain relief after 1 week. In clinical studies, some patients did not respond to the first treatment of QUTENZA, but did respond to the second treatment of QUTENZA.
