Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream 20g: Fast Relief for Skin Irritations
Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream is a highly effective antihistamine cream widely used in Nigeria to treat skin reactions caused by insect bites and stings. Whether you've been nipped by a mosquito, stung by a bee, or brushed against stinging nettles, Anthisan provides rapid, targeted relief to stop the itch and reduce swelling.
The active ingredient, Mepyramine Maleate (2% w/w), works by blocking histamine—the chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. By applying it directly to the affected area, you can quickly calm the "pepperish" sensation and discomfort that follows a bite.
Why Use Anthisan Cream?
- Fast Relief from Itching: Stops the urge to scratch almost immediately, preventing further skin damage or secondary infections.
- Reduces Redness & Swelling: Effectively manages inflammation and localized skin rashes (nettle rash).
- Ideal for the Nigerian Environment: A must-have for every home first aid box, especially during the rainy season when mosquitoes and other insects are more active.
- Targeted Antihistamine Action: Unlike oral tablets, the cream works directly where it is needed most on the skin.
How to Apply Anthisan for Best Results
For the best results, you should apply Anthisan as soon as possible after the bite or sting occurs:
- Clean the Spot: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and clean water.
- Apply the Cream: Rub a small amount of Anthisan cream directly onto the bite or sting.
- Frequency: Use the cream 2 to 3 times a day. Do not use it for more than 3 days in a row.
If the skin reaction does not improve or if you feel unwell, contact a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor immediately.
