How does Anthisan Cream actually work?

Anthisan Cream utilises mepyramine maleate, an antihistamine medicine that blocks histamine release. When insects bite or sting, histamine is released by the body, leading to itching, swelling, and redness at the site. The mepyramine maleate in the cream counteracts histamine, alleviating irritation and reducing visible swelling quickly. Additionally, the cream provides mild numbing properties for pain relief.
