Anthisan Cream is used to relieve itching, pain and inflammation caused by insect bites, insect stings and nettle rash.

It contains mepyramine maleate, an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, helping to reduce itching and irritation.

Apply a small amount to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day for up to 3 days, following the instructions in the patient information leaflet.

Anthisan Cream may be suitable for children. Always check the patient information leaflet or speak to a pharmacist before use.

No. Do not apply Anthisan Cream to broken, cut, grazed, infected or sunburnt skin.

No. Anthisan Cream is not suitable for treating eczema or other long-term skin conditions unless advised by a healthcare professional.

When applied soon after a bite or sting, Anthisan Cream can begin helping to relieve itching and irritation shortly after application.

Some people may experience mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction. Stop using the cream and seek medical advice if you develop a rash or your symptoms worsen.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using Anthisan Cream.

Seek medical advice if your symptoms do not improve after 3 days, become worse, or if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction or infection following a bite or sting.
