I have not yet found an antihistamine cream, but there are many tablets available. I think I have a selection of three in my meds box just now. Not hugely expensive.

Remember that India has a big pharmaceutical industry.

That company brought up in post #1 of this thread has a website of course, looks very handy so I thought I'd leave the URL: http://www.selectwisely.com/
