About Anthisan

When you are bitten or stung the body's immune system produces a chemical called histamine to help protect the cells from infection from foreign objects. The histamine causes inflammation and swelling of the skin as the blood vessels expand, which can also make it feel itchy. Anthisan contains the active ingredient Mepyramine Maleate, a topical antihistamine which stops the histamine affecting your body's cells, by blocking histamine receptors on cells, helping to prevent the inflammatory cascade and so reducing swelling and inflammation.
