WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved NeurogesX Inc's Qutenza pain patch for shingles, the company said on Monday. The non-narcotic patch is put directly to the site of pain and can help reduce the discomfort, often severe, for up to three months, the company said in a statement. In June, NeurogesX Inc announced a distribution agreement with Japan's Astellas Pharma Inc to sell Qutenza, in the European Economic Area, the Middle East and Africa.
