What Is Anthisan?
Anthisan refers to a range of topical medical creams and sprays formulated to relieve uncomfortable insect bites, stings and nettle rash. The products are designed to ease symptoms such as itching, pain, swelling and irritation that arise from the body’s histamine response following an insect bite or sting.
The primary active ingredient across the range is an antihistamine called mepyramine maleate, which works at the site of application to block histamine receptors and inhibit the inflammatory cascade that causes swelling and itching.
Benefits and Features of the Welzo Anthisan Collection
The Anthisan collection at Welzo is carefully selected to offer effective relief with convenience and ease of use. Key features and benefits include:
- Fast relief for bites and stings: Products in the range are formulated to reduce itching, pain and swelling quickly after an insect bite or sting.
- Targeted antihistamine action: Anthisan uses mepyramine maleate, a recognised topical antihistamine that calms histamine-induced irritation at the affected area.
- Portable and easy to apply: Many products in the collection are compact and suitable for on-the-go use, ideal for travel, outdoor activities or family first-aid kits.
Why Is Anthisan Important?
When the skin is bitten or stung by insects such as mosquitoes, bees, wasps, midges or nettles, the body’s immune system releases histamine as part of its response. Histamine increases blood flow and activates inflammatory processes that can cause itching, redness, swelling and discomfort. Topical antihistamines such as mepyramine maleate work by blocking histamine receptors, preventing histamine from binding to cells in the skin. This helps reduce inflammation and itch, allowing the skin to return to normal more quickly and comfortably. Using Anthisan products as soon as possible after a bite or sting maximises their effect and helps minimise discomfort.
Anthisan is designed for use on intact skin only and is typically used as part of a wider approach to managing bites and stings, alongside protective products from our insect protection range and general first aid essentials.
How to Use Anthisan Products
For best results, follow these general usage guidelines:
- Clean the affected area gently with water and pat dry.
- Apply the product directly to the bite or sting site two to three times daily.
-
Use as soon as possible after the bite or sting for optimal relief.
Do not apply to broken, grazed, eczema-affected or sunburnt skin, as this may increase irritation.
Limit use to a maximum of three days; consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
Always read the packaging and patient information leaflet carefully before use.
Expert Information and Guidance on Anthisan
Anthisan’s active component mepyramine maleate is classified as a topical antihistamine with anti-pruritic (anti-itch) and local analgesic properties, helping relieve discomfort from insect bites, stings and nettle rash.
The cream blocks histamine H1 receptors in the skin, preventing histamine from triggering further inflammation. Topical application minimises systemic exposure and targets relief directly where it is needed.
Use on broken or eczema-affected skin is not recommended, as it can increase irritation or cause adverse reactions.
