C Plast Topical Patch is used to relieve minor pain in joints and muscles like arthritis, muscle strains, backache, bruises, sprains, and cramps. It helps relieve pain following an attack of herpes zoster (shingles) and neuropathic pain.
C Plast Topical Patch contains capsaicin, which works by decreasing the activity of nerve cells and reducing the sensation of pain. It prevents the chemical messengers from sending the pain signal to the brain.
In some cases, C Plast Topical Patch may cause side effects such as irritation and a burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
C Plast Topical Patch is for external use only. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this medicine. Do not use C Plast Topical Patch on open wounds, damaged skin or with a heating pad. Avoid contact with eyes, nose and mucous membranes; rinse with water thoroughly in case of accidental contact.
