What is fenistyl?

Fenistil is a brand name of an antihistamine medication called dimethindene maleate. It is used to treat symptoms of allergic reactions such as itching, hives, and rashes. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance that the body produces in response to an allergic reaction. Fenistil comes in various forms including tablets, syrup, and gel for topical use. It is available over the counter without a prescription in some countries, but it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before use. The medication may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. It should not be used in children under the age of one year old without medical advice.
