Children's Clinic Khimki

Allergies are a very common ailment nowadays, but parents have never encountered such a concept before. Today, almost 1/3 of all children in the world have allergic manifestations. What can you do to alleviate the existing symptoms? A faithful friend, Fenistil, will come to the rescue.

We advise any caring parent to have this necessary drug in their medicine cabinet, because thanks to it, most external allergy symptoms are relieved. We will figure out how the treatment occurs and what diseases the drug will help with, as well as what the dosages are.

Most modern parents face allergies in their newborns.

What does Fenistil treat?

Fenistil today surpasses many antihistamines (Suprastin, Tavegil) both in popularity and convenience. The good thing about the drug is that the possibility of its use extends even to newborn babies.

With the help of this medicine you will successfully eliminate allergic manifestations:

• rhinitis;
• hay fever;
• eczema;
• hives;
• dermatitis.

It is important to remember that the remedy does not cure the disease, but only relieves its symptoms. It does not eliminate the cause of the allergy. This drug was produced in Switzerland. It is sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.

Compound

This article talks about typical ways to solve your issues, but each case is unique! If you want to know how to solve your particular problem, ask your question. It's fast and free!

The main active ingredient of Fenistil is demetindene maleate. This substance can have anti-allergenic, sedative and antipruritic effects. Its “powers” ​​also include reducing the permeability of capillaries. This, in turn, helps reduce the severity of allergic manifestations. In addition to the main active ingredient, auxiliary ingredients are added, which will differ depending on the release form.

Release forms

There are several packaging options for the drug:

• drops;
• gel;
• emulsion;
• capsules (tablets).

In pharmacies you will find another subtype - Fenistil Pencivir cream. It is an antiviral, not an antihistamine. The cream is intended to eliminate herpes rashes on the lips. Below we will deal with each type of drug separately.

Indications for use

Capsules and drops

Different dosage forms can be prescribed; the choice of one depends on the disease. Indications for use:

• from allergic rhinitis;
• from a negative reaction to medications;
• with urticaria;
• in case of Quincke's edema;
• if you are allergic to foods;
• from allergic cough;
• from itchy manifestations of various origins (chickenpox, dermatitis, eczema, insect bites, diathesis, measles, rubella) (see also: treatment of diathesis in infants);
• for colds (reduces the severity of symptoms, relieves irritation in the throat, is used for ARVI, laryngitis);
• with painful teething (babies often suffer from discomfort during this period, and drops will help relieve these itchy manifestations) (we recommend reading: what ointment can you buy for teething in children?).

Emulsion and gel

For external use. The scope of use of these types is narrower compared to drops and tablets. The instructions describe the following cases of using the gel and spray:

• from skin itching with urticaria, dermatosis;
• from skin rashes in the form of pimples, causing discomfort from itching (with atopic dermatitis, chickenpox, rubella);
• the gel form of release allows the product to be used for sunburn and household burns;
• after insect bites (relieves itching and swelling);
• successfully relieves ringworm irritation.

The permitted age for use is shown in the following table:

Mode of application

Depending on the release form, a different method of use will be prescribed. Another important question is how quickly the drug takes effect. The product, taken internally, will begin its active work in half an hour. The effect lasts about 12 hours. After using the drug externally, the visible result will be noticeable instantly. The peak activity of the ointment occurs 4 hours after application.

Dosage and use of drops

The enclosed instructions for use clearly describe the dosage of the drug. It is allowed to use Fenistil for newborns who have already passed the monthly mark. At a younger age, drops are prohibited from use.

The dose volume will depend on the age of the baby. Below are the average rates:

Fenistil is prohibited for newborn babies - it can only be used after the first month of life

The indicators in the table are averaged. The amount should be calculated individually for each baby. You can calculate the dose per day yourself. For 1 kg of a child’s weight, take 0.1 mg of the substance dimethindene. Having calculated the daily norm, we divide this number by three and ultimately get the volume that the baby should take at a time. It is noteworthy that 1 mg of dimethindene = 20 drops of the drug. For clarity, let's look at an example. A three-month-old baby weighs 5 kg. You need to find out how many drops you can give him.

The dose per day is calculated as follows: 0.1 mg (dimetindene) x 5 (kg) = 0.5 mg = 10 drops. Single dosage: 10 (drops): 3 (takes) ≈ 3 (drops). Through simple calculations, we found out that a baby with this weight should be given three drops at a time. Similarly, you can calculate the one-time amount of medicine for your little one.

1. Taking the drug does not depend on the time of eating. It is quite possible to give a single dose both before and after feeding, but it is optimal to give drops before meals.
2. Do not heat the medicine before taking it, as this will kill all its healing properties.
3. It is important to understand the rules for using the product. At one month old, drop the drug into the formula or into breast milk. For an older baby (six months old), add it to compote or juice. It is advisable to give the product undiluted from a spoon to a one-year-old child. Children eat it willingly, because the syrup has a pleasant taste.
4. When planning to use drops for older children, you should remember the sedative effect they have. Try not to assign your child tasks that require quick reactions.
5. During what period are drops allowed to be taken? Doctors are inclined to the minimum terms. So, for example, to relieve acute symptoms, the pediatrician may advise giving the drug for a week, but if the symptoms go away earlier, the drug should be stopped immediately.
6. The drops relieve acute allergic symptoms, so you should not use them for a long time. The most reasonable use would be short-term use for severe symptoms. This way you will protect the body from addiction and will not harm the child.

Taking tablets and capsules

This form of release can be used by children over 12 years of age. Here are some basic tips for taking tablets and capsules:

1. Children over 12 years of age and adults are prescribed a single daily dose of the drug - 1 tablet. The product works all day long.
2. After taking Fenistil, the child sleeps soundly. To avoid drowsiness during the day, you should take tablets or capsules in the evening.
3. Method of administration: the tablet as a whole is washed down with water.
4. It is important to remember the duration of use of these release forms - a maximum of 25 days.

Application of the gel

The gel has proven itself to be an effective remedy for relieving allergy symptoms and for any other skin rashes in children. Here are the rules for using the gel:

1. The presence of rashes of an allergic or infectious nature requires treatment of problem areas with a thin layer of ointment. How many times can it be applied? This should be done 2 to 4 times a day.
2. The treated area should be protected from direct sunlight.
3. Is it possible to use facial gel? Treatment of the forehead, chin and cheeks is possible. Be careful when applying, do not let the product get on the mucous membranes. The eyes, nose and mouth of the infant should not come into the treatment area.
4. You need to continue using the ointment until external symptoms are completely eliminated. If you notice the absence of a positive effect even after 4 days, consult your doctor to prescribe another drug.
