Dimetindene, also sold under the brand name Fenistil, is an antihistamine/anticholinergic. It is a first generation[1] selective H1 antagonist.[2] Dimetindene is an atypical first generation H1 antagonist as it only minimally[3] passes across the blood–brain barrier.
Dimetindene is also an M2 receptor antagonist.[4]
It was patented in 1958 and came into medical use in 1960.[5]
Medical use
Dimetindene is used orally and topically as an antipruritic.[6] It is used topically to treat skin irritations, such as insect bites. Dimetindene is also administered orally to treat allergies, such as hay fever.
