Dimetapp is named for its formulation, which combines "dimeth" referring to the dimethindene maleate antihistamine and "tap" suggesting its effectiveness in relieving symptoms. The name reflects its purpose as a medication that "taps" into the body's histamine response to reduce allergy symptoms. The brand has become well-known for its use in treating cold and allergy symptoms, particularly in children.
