View package leaflet

Fenistil drops are a medicine containing the active ingredient dimetindene maleate, a so-called "antihistamine". Fenistil drops are effective against the symptoms of allergic diseases and itching of all kinds.

This medicine is used for

  • Itching caused by: Eczema, childhood illnesses (e.g. chickenpox), insect bites and stings, food and drug allergies
  • Hives
  • Sneezing and itching in the nose with allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis (hay fever)
  • Itching without skin disease

Thanks to their liquid form, Fenistil® drops quickly and effectively relieve the symptoms of allergies and itching caused by chickenpox or eczema, for example.

Fenistil drops are used in adults, adolescents and children from 1 year of age. Fenistil drops may only be given to children under 3 years of age with a doctor's prescription. If you do not feel better or even worse, consult your doctor.

How do Fenistil drops work?

The body's own messenger substance histamine causes allergic skin reactions such as swelling, itching and redness. The body releases more histamine when foreign substances (allergens) penetrate the skin and the body reacts in defence to these substances. Fenistil drops contain the active ingredient dimetindene, which blocks the histamine in the body and thus reduces the typical symptoms.
