Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream 20g: Fast Relief for Skin Irritations
Anthisan Bite and Sting Cream is a highly effective topical antihistamine cream used in Nigeria to treat localized skin reactions. Formulated with Mepyramine Maleate (2.0% w/w), it blocks histamines at the site of the injury, providing rapid, targeted relief to stop the itch and reduce swelling.
Whether you've been bitten by a mosquito, stung by a bee, or brushed against stinging nettles, Anthisan helps calm that "pepperish" sensation and discomfort. It is a must-have for every first aid box, especially during the rainy season when insects are more active in Nigeria.
Why Choose Anthisan Cream?
- Fast-Acting Relief: Stops the urge to scratch almost immediately, preventing secondary infections and skin damage.
- Targeted Action: Unlike oral antihistamines, this vanishing cream works directly where it is needed on the skin.
- Effective for Various Reactions: Manages inflammation from mosquito bites, bee or wasp stings, and nettle rash.
- Trusted Brand: Produced by reputable manufacturers like Sanofi or Phoenix Labs, it is a well-established treatment in Nigerian pharmacies.
How to Apply Anthisan for Best Results
For maximum effectiveness, apply the cream as soon as possible after the bite or sting occurs:
- Clean the Area: Gently wash the affected spot with mild soap and clean water.
- Apply the Cream: Rub a small amount of Anthisan cream directly onto the bite.
- Frequency: Use 2 to 3 times daily. Do not exceed 3 days of consecutive use.
If you experience a severe allergic reaction or if symptoms persist, contact a GoMed pharmacist or seek medical attention immediately.
