FENISTIL Gel, 30 g

Instructions for use for FENISTIL Gel, 30 g

Fenistil gel is a medicine for the short-term relief of itching from small itchy insect bites on intact skin, as well as skin conditions such as chronic eczema, urticaria and other allergy-related skin conditions. It can also be used for 1st degree burns and sunburn. The gel contains the active ingredient dimethene maleate, which relieves itching by blocking the action of the body's own substance histamine. The gel is quickly absorbed, non-greasy and moisturising. It is suitable for children and adults. It is used by applying the gel to the affected skin area up to three times a day. For infants and small children, the gel should only be applied to small areas. No injured or inflamed skin areas should be treated. The gel contains propylene glycol and should not be applied to large areas of skin during pregnancy and breastfeeding. No side effects are usually expected, but drying and burning of the skin may occur. For more information, see the package leaflet.
