Chilli and cayenne (capsaicin)
Chilli and cayenne (capsaicin) — o que a monografia europeia realmente apoia, para que não é, a forma e por quanto tempo deve ser usado, efeitos colaterais e a 2 interação medicamentosas documentada.
Esta é uma página de referência, não um diagnóstico nem uma receita. Produtos herbais são farmacologia de verdade: têm efeitos, efeitos colaterais e interações. Conte ao médico e ao farmacêutico tudo o que toma, incluindo chás e suplementos, e nunca pare ou mude um medicamento prescrito por causa do que ler aqui.
O que é
Capsicum annuum L. and related species — fruit (Capsici fructus)
Nomes locais na região que este site atende:tšillipipar (ET) · chili (FI) · кайенский перец (RU).
Agrupado aqui em Kitchen spices with a safety story. Posição regulatória:Food and spice; capsaicin itself is a licensed prescription and pharmacy medicine in specific topical strengths.
O que a evidência apoia
A indicação registrada:Topical relief of muscle and joint pain in low-strength preparations; high-concentration capsaicin patches are licensed medicines for peripheral neuropathic pain.
Capsaicin, the compound that makes chilli hot, binds TRPV1 — a receptor on sensory nerve endings that normally reports heat. That is why chilli feels hot rather than tasting hot, and why cold water does not help while fat and dairy do. Applied repeatedly to skin, capsaicin first excites and then defunctionalises those nerve endings, and that is a genuine analgesic mechanism rather than a folk one: high-concentration capsaicin patches are licensed prescription medicines applied in a clinic for peripheral neuropathic pain, and low-strength creams and plasters are sold for muscle and joint pain. This is a case where the pharmacy product and the kitchen spice really do share a mechanism, and where the pharmacy product is measured and the kitchen one is not.
B — Traditional use, trials point the same way Registered on long-standing use, and independent reviews of human trials point in the same direction without settling the question.
Para que não é
Eating chilli as a treatment for anything. There is no good evidence that chilli causes stomach ulcers, and none that it cures them.
Forma, força e por quanto tempo
Fresh and dried fruit, cayenne powder, oleoresin, and topical creams, plasters and patches of defined capsaicin strength.
Duração.Topical products are used in courses; the burning sensation usually diminishes over several days of consistent use, which is part of how they work.
Nenhum número em gramas aparece nesta página de propósito. A parte da planta, o solvente de extração e a razão droga-extrato juntos definem uma preparação, e um número tirado de uma não descreve outra. O raciocínio está no hub; a quantidade que se aplica a você é a impressa na embalagem que segura, e um farmacêutico lê com você.
Efeitos colaterais
Burning at the application site is expected and can be severe. Never apply to broken skin, near the eyes, or on mucous membranes, and wash hands thoroughly afterwards — capsaicin transferred to an eye is memorable for the wrong reasons. Heat from a shower, sun or exercise intensifies the burning. Eaten, it causes mouth and gut discomfort in some people and worsens reflux.
Quem deve evitar
Keep topical products away from children. Do not use a heat pad or hot bath over a capsaicin application.
Interações com medicamentos
| Medicamento ou substância | O que é descrito |
|---|---|
| Blood-pressure medicines, diuretics and corticosteroids | Cough associated with ACE inhibitors has been reported to worsen with topical capsaicin, which shares a sensory-nerve mechanism with that side effect. |
| Prescription medicines generally | Do not combine a capsaicin product with a heating pad or hot compress; the combination has caused burns. |
A visão inversa — começar pelo medicamento em vez da planta — está na referência de interações de medicamentos, alimentos e álcool, e resumido para cada erva neste site.
Como alimento
Este também está na cozinha, então os números de nutrição valem ter ao lado da farmacologia: veja a página de dados de alimentos para calorias e nutrientes por 100 g e por porção. Quantidades culinárias e preparações medicinais são exposições diferentes, e a diferença costuma ser toda a história de segurança.
