Dimetindene (Fenistil) is an antihistamine/anticholinergic used orally and locally as an antipruritic.
Dimethindene occurs as a racemic mixture. The (S)-(+)-dimethindene is a potent M2-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist (with lower affinity for M1, M3, and M4 muscarinic receptors). The (R)-(-)-enantiomer is the eutomer (responsible for bioactivity) for histamine H1 receptor binding.

How Бебифрин works
Dimethindene is a selective histamine H1 antagonist and binds to the histamine H1 receptor. This blocks the action of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine.
Toxicity
As with other antihistaminic drugs, overdosage can produce the following symptoms: CNS depression accompanied by drowsiness (especially in adults), CNS stimulation and antimuscarinic effects (especially in children) including the following: excitation, ataxia, hallucinations, tonic or clonic spasms, mydriasis, dryness of the mouth, redness of the face, urine retention, fever and tachycardia. Blood hypotension is also possible. In its terminal phase, coma can be aggravated by cardiorespiratory colapse and death. There has been no report of a fatal outcome of Dimethindene overdosage.
