Capsaicin and oleoresin capsicum are popularly used ingredients in both "over-the-counter" and prescription topical analgesics. Used as a counter-irritant, capsaicin is believed to have a desensitizing effect on nerves, thus providing substantial relief from the pain associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, herpes zoster, and diabetic neuropathy.
