Neodor (Capsaicin)

Capsaicin activates TRPV1 receptors on peripheral sensory nerves. Repeated activation leads to desensitization of these nerves and a reduction in the release of pain‑related neurotransmitters, which diminishes the perception of pain at the site where the product is applied.

The appropriate amount of Neodor to apply is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific condition, treatment area, and patient tolerance. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

Safety data for topical capsaicin during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and this decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Neodor product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Neodor’s capsaicin provides a non‑opioid, topical approach that directly targets peripheral pain pathways, unlike systemic analgesics such as NSAIDs or opioids. It offers localized relief with minimal systemic exposure, but may cause skin irritation, which is less common with oral medications.

Neodor should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain its stability and effectiveness.

Neodor is applied topically to clean, dry skin in the area of pain. A thin layer is spread gently, avoiding excessive rubbing. Hands should be washed after application, and the treated area should not be covered with occlusive dressings unless directed by a healthcare professional.

While most reactions are mild, serious risks include severe skin irritation, blistering, allergic contact dermatitis, and, in very rare cases, systemic effects such as hypotension. Patients should discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe reactions occur.

Neodor should not be used on broken, inflamed or infected skin, on mucous membranes, or in individuals with known hypersensitivity to capsaicin or any excipients in the formulation. Children under 12 years of age are generally not recommended for use.
