Podcast 547: Capsaicin Cream to the Rescue

Podcast 547: Capsaicin Cream to the Rescue

Author: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • A recent retrospective study looked capsaicin cream in treating cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome in regards to length of stay, cost analysis, use of rescue therapies, and adverse events
  • Results showed a trend towards reduced length of stay but did not reach statistical significance
  • Use of opioids was reduced in the capsaicin group
  • Capsaicin remains a potential treatment option in this often difficult disease
