Understanding Mepyramine Maleate

The core of Anthisan’s efficacy lies in its active ingredient, Mepyramine Maleate (2% w/w).³ This is a well-known first-generation antihistamine.⁴

How it Works: When an insect stings or bites, or when skin contacts a nettle, the body releases a chemical called histamine. Histamine is responsible for the immediate inflammatory response, causing the characteristic itching, swelling, and redness.
The Antihistamine Effect: Mepyramine Maleate works by blocking the action of histamine at the ⁵ $H_1$ receptors in the skin.⁶ By doing this, it directly counteracts the cause of the uncomfortable symptoms, providing rapid relief from pain and intense itching.⁷

✨ Benefits and Uses

Anthisan Bite & Sting Cream is specifically formulated to treat the immediate symptoms associated with minor skin reactions.⁸

🦟 Insect Bites: Provides quick relief from the itching and swelling caused by mosquitoes, fleas, midges, and other common biting insects.⁹
🐝 Insect Stings: Helps to reduce the pain and localized inflammation from wasp, bee (after removing the stinger), and hornet stings.
🌱 Nettle Rash: Soothes the painful, itchy rash caused by contact with stinging nettles.¹⁰
General Soothing: Its formulation helps calm the irritated area, promoting comfort and reducing the urge to scratch, which can prevent secondary infection.¹¹

📝 Directions for Use

For optimal results and safety, always follow the application instructions carefully.

Cleanse the Area: Gently wash the affected skin area with soap and water and pat it dry.
Apply Sparingly: Squeeze a small amount of Anthisan cream onto your fingertip.
Rub In: Apply the cream directly to the bite, sting, or rash area and gently rub it in until it is absorbed.
Frequency: The cream may be applied two to three times a day for up to three days.¹²

⚠️ Important Note: If the symptoms persist for more than three days, or if the skin condition worsens, consult a healthcare professional.

🛑 Precautions and Warnings

While Anthisan is generally safe for topical use, certain precautions must be taken:

External Use Only: This cream is for use on the skin only. Do not swallow it.
Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply to broken skin, large areas of skin, or sensitive areas such as the eyes or mouth.
Children: Consult a pharmacist or doctor before using on children under two years of age.
Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to Mepyramine Maleate or any of the other ingredients.
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

In the event of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) from an insect sting (e.g., difficulty breathing, dizziness, significant swelling away from the site of the sting), seek immediate emergency medical attention. Anthisan cream is not a treatment for anaphylaxis.
