Fenistil Gel 0.1%, 50g, Haleon

What Fenistil gel is and what it is used for

Fenistil Gel contains an active substance that belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines. Fenistil Gel is used to soothe itching associated with skin rashes, hives, insect bites, sunburn, and superficial burns.
