Fenistil gel has anti-allergic effects. It is the only product that contains the special anti-allergic active substance (antihistamine) in the form of a gel. The gel is colourless, almost pellucid and its usage is accompanied by a pleasant cooling effect.
Fenistil gel is most frequently used to treat sunburns, itching, nettle rash, insect bites, and mild burns. It can be used after contact with toxic plants, jellyfish, etc. It is also useful in treating allergic reactions to metal (cheap jewels, metal buttons) or exotic foods (tropic fruits).
Fenistil not only protects against allergic reaction, but also reduces the urge to scratch the affected area excessively. This is important because scratching can cause secondary infection, and if continued could turn a simple insect bite into a much more serious problem.
Adults can usually control the urge to scratch, but this is not always the case when dealing with small children. Thus it its important to note that Fenistil gel helps not only adults, but also small children aged 6 months and older.
