Shop Anthisan products online from a UK regulated pharmacy. This brand page is designed for people searching for a practical, go-to insect bite and sting cream to keep at home, pack for holidays, or add to a first-aid kit. Anthisan creams are commonly chosen to help soothe the discomfort that can follow bites and stings (such as itching, local redness and irritation) after time outdoors. If you’re comparing options, start by choosing the tube size that suits how you’ll use it: a smaller tube for travel and handbags, or a larger tube for regular home use.
Before buying, it’s worth checking the product label for age suitability, allergies and where it can be applied. Avoid using topical bite treatments on broken or infected skin, and be cautious if you’re using other medicated creams on the same area. If symptoms are severe, spreading, or you’re unsure what’s appropriate, a pharmacist can advise on the best next step.

FAQs
What is Anthisan used for?
Anthisan creams are commonly used to help soothe local discomfort after insect bites and stings, such as itching and irritation. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Which Anthisan size should I choose: 20g or 25g?
The 20g tube is a convenient choice for travel and first-aid kits, while the 25g tube is often preferred for keeping at home. Choose based on how often you expect to use it and where you’ll store it.
Can I use Anthisan on mosquito bites?
Many people look for Anthisan for mosquito bites and similar insect bites. Use only as directed and avoid applying to broken, infected or extensively damaged skin.
How do I apply Anthisan cream?
Apply a small amount to the affected area as instructed on the packaging and leaflet. Wash hands before and after use and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and other sensitive areas.
Can I use Anthisan with other creams on the same area?
If you’re using other medicated creams (for example, steroid creams, antifungals or prescription treatments), it’s best to ask a pharmacist before layering products on the same patch of skin. This helps reduce the risk of irritation or incorrect use.
Is Anthisan suitable for children?
Age suitability can vary by product. Check the label and patient information leaflet before use, and ask a pharmacist if you’re unsure what’s appropriate for a child.
When should I seek medical advice for a bite or sting?
Seek urgent help if there are signs of a severe allergic reaction (such as swelling of the face or throat, breathing difficulties, or a widespread rash), or if symptoms are rapidly worsening. For non-urgent concerns, speak with a pharmacist, contact your GP, or call NHS 111.
Safety information: Over-the-counter bite and sting treatments are not a substitute for medical assessment. Always read the pack and patient leaflet, check ingredients for allergies, and use only as directed. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medicines, or symptoms persist, spread, or worsen, consult a pharmacist, your GP, or NHS 111.
