This treatment should be initiated and supervised by the specialist who treats the diabetic patient. This preparation is for external use only. Do not apply to irritated skin or wounds. This medicine is highly irritating. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. To do this, it is recommended to always wash your hands well with cold water and soap immediately after each application, and unless indicated by the doctor, application of the cream near the eyes or on mucous membranes (e.g., the mouth) should be avoided. Contact with the eyes or other mucous membranes can cause a burning sensation. If this occurs, the area should be washed with plenty of cold water.

When the treated area is the hands, patients should not wash them for at least 30 minutes after application. During this time, accidental contact with sensitive areas should be monitored.

If the pain persists or worsens after the first 2 weeks of treatment, or disappears and reappears after a few days, or excessive irritation appears, treatment should be discontinued and the doctor consulted.

Do not apply heat or tight bandages to the area. Do not use for prolonged periods or on large areas.

Using Ipsodol with other medicines

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Ipsodol cream can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

During the first few days of treatment, a burning or itching sensation may appear in the application area in approximately 50% of cases. This reaction, which is known, is a consequence of the pharmacological action of capsaicin, releasing substance P from peripheral nerve endings and accumulating in the synapse, and usually disappears or decreases over time as treatment continues at the recommended dose, without the need to interrupt it. Its duration and intensity are variable, but may be prolonged if Ipsodol cream is applied less than 3 or 4 times a day. Hot water, excessive sweating, or occlusion may intensify this sensation. Other possible side effects at the skin level may be irritative erythema and dryness of the skin at the application site.

During treatment, estornudos, lacrimation, or cough (less than 2%) may also appear, as a consequence of inhaling dry cream residues. Therefore, it is important to apply the minimum amount of cream necessary and avoid leaving residues on the skin, as well as washing hands with cold water and soap after use.

If you consider that any of the side effects you are suffering from is serious, or if you notice any side effect not mentioned in this package leaflet, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

Reporting side effects:

If you experience any type of side effect, consult your doctor or pharmacist, even if it is a possible side effect not listed in this package leaflet. You can also report them directly through the Spanish Medicines and Health Products Agency's website: https://www.notificaram.es.
