Dimetindene maleate is a derivative of phenindamine, an antagonist of histamine at the level of H1-receptors. It has anti-allergic and anti-itching effects.

The preparation also has local anesthetic properties and cools the skin when applied.
When applied topically, the gel, due to its specially designed base, quickly penetrates the skin and starts acting within a few minutes. The maximum effect is achieved within 1-4 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
The systemic bioavailability of the active substance is 10%.
Clinical characteristics
Indications
Skin itching, for example, with insect bites, non-extensive sun erythema, uncomplicated small skin burns, and allergic irritation of small skin areas.
Contraindications

Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions

In such cases, the use of the preparation is possible only under the supervision of a doctor.
