Fenistil® Dragees

Description

Product Information Fenistil® Dragees provide fast relief from allergic reactions such as hay fever, food and drug allergies, and skin rash (hives). The coated tablets relieve swelling, redness, and itching from within. Fenistil® Dragees are especially convenient when you are on the go and are also an essential addition to your home medicine cabinet. They help you fall asleep and stay asleep and are approved for children 3 years of age and older. Use in children under 3 years of age should occur only after consultation with your doctor. How to Use Fenistil® Dragees: The usual adult dose for relief of allergy symptoms is 1–2 coated tablets 3 times daily. Children over 3 years of age take 1 coated tablet 3 times daily. It is advisable to keep the coated tablets with you at all times so you can also act quickly if an acute allergic reaction occurs. Please contact your doctor or pharmacist if you have difficulty with the specified dosage. How Fenistil® Dragees Work: Histamine, a chemical messenger produced by the body, causes allergic skin reactions such as swelling, itching, and redness. The body releases more histamine when foreign substances (allergens) enter the skin and the body mounts a defense against them. Fenistil® Dragees contain an active ingredient that blocks histamine in the body, thereby reducing the typical symptoms. Fast Action: Fenistil® Dragees help you stop feeling your allergy symptoms. The coated tablets quickly and effectively relieve unpleasant allergic reactions such as itching, a runny nose, and skin rash. Suitable for Various Allergies: The coated tablets are suitable for treating allergic reactions such as food and drug allergies, hay fever, and allergies to animal hair, dust, and feathers. Their mildly sedating effect calms you, relieves itching, and helps you sleep peacefully at night.
