To prevent an allergic reaction or in a situation where the child has already developed an allergy, drugs from the group of antihistamines are prescribed. One of the most popular drugs of this group in children is Fenistil. It is often prescribed to children in the form of drops, so parents should know in what cases such a medicine is indicated, at what age it is permissible to use it, and what dosages of Fenistil are used for children.

Features of Fenistil in drops

• This dosage form is available in a dark glass bottle with a capacity of 20 ml, supplemented with a special dispenser.
• The liquid inside the bottle is transparent, odorless, with a sweet taste.
• The medicine is safe for infants, so doctors often prescribe it for allergies in children older than 1 month.
• The drops are convenient to dose and easy to mix with baby food or drink.
• The active substance in this drug is dimethindene maleate. One milliliter of Fenistil drops contains 1 mg of this active ingredient.
• 1 ml of the drug contains 20 drops.
• Additional substances in Fenistil drops are water, sorbitol, preservative, ethyl alcohol, sodium dehydrogen phosphate. Also in pharmacies there is Fenistil New, the main difference of which is the absence of ethanol in its composition.
• The medicine is produced not only in drops, but also in the form of a gel, as well as in capsule form.
• Store Fenistil drops at a temperature no higher than +25ºС in a place where a child cannot reach. Once opened, the bottle can be stored for up to 24 months.

Action

The drug blocks receptors that are sensitive to a compound released during allergies - histamine. In healthy children, this compound is located inside the cells, but during a pathological process, for example, when exposed to an allergen, histamine begins to be actively released into the blood. The result of this process is tissue swelling, spasm of smooth muscles, stagnation of blood in small vessels, itching and other allergy symptoms.

When taking Fenistil, the production of histamine is suppressed, so itching decreases, capillary permeability decreases, which leads to the elimination of swelling and other uncomfortable symptoms. Dimetindene begins to act half an hour after application, and the maximum effect is observed after two hours.

Indications

The drug is often prescribed for preventive purposes, for example, after vaccination or before vaccination, if the baby is prone to allergies.

Contraindications

Fenistil drops are not prescribed if the child has:

• Intolerance to any component of the drug.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Angle-closure glaucoma.

It is also important not to forget that the drug is not used in the neonatal period, since its age limit is 1 month. In this case, for babies under 12 months and for chronic pathologies of the respiratory system, the medicine is prescribed with caution in order to prevent nighttime apnea attacks.

Side effects

The most common side effect of Fenistil in the form of drops is drowsiness. In most babies it appears in the first days of treatment, and then often goes away. In addition to drowsiness, children taking this antihistamine may experience:

• Dizziness.
• Dry mouth.
• Nausea.
• Headache.
• Muscle spasms.
• Skin rash.
• Impaired breathing.

Dosage: how many drops to drop?

The required dosage of Fenistil is often calculated based on the child’s weight. The number of kilograms of the child’s body weight is multiplied by 2 and the number of drops is obtained, which represents the daily dose. It is divided into 3 doses, receiving a single dosage for a specific child.

The average dosages of Fenistil in the form of drops are:

• In the first year of life (from 1 to 12 months) - 3-10 drops, taking into account the child’s weight, per dose, a total of 9-30 drops per day.
• Children older than one year to 3 years of age - 10-15 drops at a time, the daily dosage ranges from 30 to 45 drops.
• At the age of 3-12 years - from 15 to 20 drops per dose, in total from 45 to 60 drops per day.
• Children over 12 years old - from 60 to 120 drops as a daily dose, that is, 20-40 drops per dose.

If Fenistil is taken before vaccination, the medicine is given to the child 3-5 days before vaccination in the following dose:

• For children under one year old - 4-5 drops in the morning and evening.
• Children aged 1-3 years - 10 drops twice a day.
• For a child over three years old – 20 drops three times a day.

If the drug causes severe drowsiness in the baby, the daily dosage of the medication can be divided into doses so that the child receives most of the drug before bedtime. For example, a child needs to be given 40 drops of Fenistil per day. You can give 10 drops in the morning, 10 drops at lunch and 20 drops at night.

When calculating the dosage taking into account the child’s weight, also compare the daily amount with the allowable amount for a certain age. For children under 1 year old it is 30 drops, for children 1-3 years old – 45 drops, and for children over 3 years old – 60 drops. If the calculation results in a quantity greater than these figures, the dose is reduced and the child is given the drug at the maximum allowable dosage at his age.

Instructions for use

1. The required number of drops is diluted with a small amount of non-hot liquid, and then given to the child. You can also give drops undiluted.
2. The drug is given every 8 hours.
3. Eating food does not affect the intake of Fenistil drops.
4. The drug cannot be heated, as it will lose its healing properties.

Features of use in infants up to one year

Fenistil is approved for use in infants over one month old. However, before using the medicine on an infant, you should definitely consult a pediatrician. Many doctors do not recommend giving such drops for up to a year, since they have a sedative effect and can cause respiratory arrest at night.

To give drops to your baby, you need to multiply the child's weight by 2, and then divide the resulting number into 3 doses. Having calculated a single dose for the child, the drops are mixed with expressed breast milk or a small amount of warm formula. As a rule, infants do not protest against such medicine because it has a sweet aftertaste.

Overdose

If the dose of drops is exceeded, the child will experience this situation with increased temperature, increased heart rate, and dry mouth. Hallucinations and seizures may occur. Even if the dosage is exceeded once, you should consult a doctor, and if the baby accidentally drinks the entire contents of the bottle, you should not hesitate - immediately call an ambulance. Doctors will prescribe medications that will support the heart and respiratory system, and also quickly remove the drug from the baby’s body.

Komarovsky's opinion

Komarovsky emphasizes that Fenistil is classified as an antihistamine of the so-called first generation, which affects the functioning of the central nervous system. And that is precisely why such a drug has many side effects that are not observed with more modern antihistamines of the latest generation.

In addition, a well-known pediatrician focuses the attention of parents on the fact that Fenistil, like any other antihistamines, is designed to combat only the symptoms of allergies, but is unable to eliminate it completely, since it does not affect the cause. He advises focusing on identifying allergens and trying to eliminate their contact with the child's body.

For more information about this, see Dr. Komarovsky’s program.

Instructions for use:

Fenistil is a remedy for treating allergy symptoms.

Pharmacological action of Fenistil

Fenistil belongs to the 1st generation antihistamines. By blocking histamine H1 receptors, it prevents the effects of histamine from appearing - hyperemia, increased capillary permeability, swelling, itching, etc. In this way, the antiallergic and antipruritic effect of the drug is realized.

Fenistil is able to block the effects of kinins and exhibits minor anticholinergic activity. Clinically, this manifests itself in “drying” of the mucous membranes, which is sometimes used in the treatment of ARVI with increased secretion of the nasal mucosa. The drug has a slight sedative effect and does not have antiemetic activity.

The gel is intended for topical use. It eliminates skin manifestations of allergies without producing systemic side effects such as drowsiness or anticholinergic effects. The antipruritic and mild cooling effect appears within a few minutes after application to the skin.

After administration, it is quickly and completely absorbed from the digestive system, bioavailability is about 70%. Penetrates tissue quite well. Its effect appears 45 minutes after administration. Fenistil is converted into metabolites in the liver, and is excreted in urine and bile.

Analogues of Fenistil are 1st generation antihistamines such as Diazolin, Suprastin, Diphenhydramine, Tavegil.

Release form

According to the instructions, Fenistil has 3 forms - drops inside in 20 ml bottles (1 mg/ml), 0.1% gel for external use and 0.1% emulsion.

Indications for use of Fenistil

The drug is able to combat the symptoms of allergic conditions such as urticaria, food and drug allergies, allergic rhinitis, and hay fever. It effectively eliminates local symptoms of insect bites (pain, itching, redness), as well as itching due to infectious diseases (chicken pox, rubella, measles), eczema or other origins (except in cases of cholestasis).

Good reviews have been received about Fenistil as a preventive antiallergic agent, for example, during vaccination in children with an allergic predisposition.

Forms for external use help with sunburn and minor household burns.

Contraindications

According to the instructions, Fenistil is not used for bronchial asthma, angle-closure glaucoma, prostate adenoma, hypersensitivity to its components, in the 1st trimester of pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Of all the analogues, Fenistil is the only one approved for use from 1 month. Caution in its use should be in case of obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Instructions for use of Fenistil

The drug in the form of drops is taken orally before or during meals. For young children, you can add the medicine to their drinking bottle. According to reviews, Fenistil has a pleasant taste and therefore is widely used in children's practice.

The dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is 60 - 120 drops/day, it should be divided into 3 doses.

Children from 1 month to 1 year are prescribed 10 – 30 drops/day, from 1 to 3 years – 30 – 45 drops/day, from 3 to 12 years – 45 – 60 drops/day in 3 divided doses.

The gel is applied to the affected areas 2 to 4 times a day. To enhance its effect in case of widespread lesions, Fenistil drops are simultaneously prescribed orally.

Emulsion for external use is applied 2 to 4 times a day. Its advantages are an additional softening and moisturizing effect on the skin, compact packaging that is convenient to take on the go, and a roller applicator that allows you to accurately apply the product to the affected area.

Side effects

Manufacturer name and location

Novartis Consumer Health SA / Novartis Consumer Health SA,

Route de L'Etraz, 1260 Nyon, Switzerland.

Pharmacological group

Antihistamines for systemic use. ATC code R06A B03.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacological. Dimetindene maleate is a histamine antagonist at the level of H1 receptors. In low concentrations, it has a stimulating effect on histamine methyltransferase, which leads to the inactivation of histamine. It has a high affinity for H1 receptors and is a mast cell stabilizer. Dimetindene maleate does not affect H2 receptors. It also has local anesthetic properties.

Dimetindene maleate is an antagonist of bradykinin, serotonin and acetylcholine. It exists as a racemic mixture with R - (-) - Dimetindene, which has more pronounced H 1 -antihistamine activity.

Dimetindene maleate significantly reduces capillary hyperpermeability associated with immediate hypersensitivity reactions.

In combination with histamine H2 receptor antagonists, it suppresses almost all types of histamine effects on the circulatory system.

Studies have shown that the effect of a single dose of 4 mg dimethindene drops on skin reactions is determined up to 24 hours after administration of the drug.

Pharmacokinetics. The systemic bioavailability of dimethindene in the form of drops is approximately 70%. The body's initial response to the drug is expected within 30 minutes after administration, the maximum response is expected within 5:00. After taking the drops, the maximum concentration of dimethindene in the blood plasma is reached within 2:00.

At concentrations from 0.09 to 2 μg/ml, the binding of dimethindene to plasma proteins is approximately 90%. Metabolic reactions of dimethindene include hydroxylation and methoxylation.

Its half-life is approximately 6:00. Dimetindene and its metabolites are excreted by the liver and kidneys.

Preclinical studies on safety, toxicity and genotoxicity have not revealed any risk when using the drug in humans. Studies on rats and rabbits did not reveal a teratogenic effect of the drug. Also, studies in rats showed no effect on fertility or fetal and neonatal development when administered at doses 250 times higher than human doses.

Indications

Symptomatic treatment of allergic diseases: urticaria, seasonal (hay fever) and year-round allergic rhinitis, allergies to drugs and food.

Itching of various origins, except those associated with cholestasis. Itching in diseases with skin rashes such as chicken pox. Insect bites.

An auxiliary remedy for eczema and other itchy dermatoses of allergic origin.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to dimethindene maleate or any other component of the drug. The patient has duodenal/pyloric stenosis.

Proper safety precautions for use

As with other antihistamines, caution should be exercised when using Fenistil in patients with glaucoma, with urinary disorders, incl. with prostate hypertrophy, as well as with chronic lung diseases.

As with all H1 receptor and partially H2 receptor antagonists, this drug should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy. Antihistamines can cause agitation in children.

!}

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Animal studies have not revealed the teratogenic effect of dimethindene and any direct or indirect harmful effects on pregnancy, embryonic development and/or postnatal development. However, since there is currently no information on the use of the drug during pregnancy, Fenistil drops can be prescribed only when absolutely necessary. It is not recommended to take the drug during breastfeeding. If necessary, breastfeeding should be stopped during treatment.

The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving vehicles or other mechanisms

The best remedy for allergies in children with a safe composition

06.11.2018 15:23

At 3 months old, my newborn daughter developed an incomprehensible rash all over her body. At first I was afraid that it was chickenpox or measles, but the pediatrician diagnosed it as allergic dermatitis. While they were taking tests to find out which allergen gave such a reaction, it was necessary to alleviate the baby’s condition. At each feeding, she gave 3 drops of Fenistil directly with the formula three times a day. The rashes began to disappear on the second day, on the fifth - the skin was already clean, without redness.

Advantages

Fast acting;

Suitable for newborns from 1 month.

Flaws

Fenistil helps me every year with seasonal allergies

25.12.2018 15:02

Summer for people is a time for vacations and relaxation, but for me it’s pure torment. Either the poplar blooms, or the pollen from the flowers begins to fly - my chronic seasonal allergies worsen. I feel deplorable during this period - I can only breathe through my mouth, and my eyes are constantly red and watery. On the advice of the local therapist, I started taking antihistamines Fenistil drops- 3 times a day. After only 3 days I woke up at night from the fact that I could breathe freely through my nose! Since then, I can’t get enough of Fenistil and every year I buy a bottle to save myself from allergies.

Fenistil refers to antiallergic drugs. Its action is based on the blockade of H1-histamine receptors in the human body. The active ingredient is dimethindene maleate.

The drug has an antiallergic effect, reduces or completely eliminates skin itching, reduces capillary permeability, which reduces swelling of the skin caused by the allergen. Fenistil has a mild sedative effect. The local form of the drug (emulsion) has an analgesic effect.

Indications for use

Indications for the use of Fenistil are allergic diseases and reactions such as:

• , angioedema (including angioedema in complex therapy);
