Description

Indications

Hydroxyzine, a member of the antihistamine class of medications, is utilized for the relief of itching in both adults and children resulting from allergic skin reactions. It may be employed, either alone or in conjunction with other medications, to alleviate anxiety and tension in both adults and children.

Hydroxyzine is used as a sedative, in combination with other medications, prior to and following general anesthesia in both adult and pediatric patients. Its mechanism of action involves blocking the actions of histamine, a substance responsible for inducing allergic symptoms, while also decreasing brain activity.

Uses and Dosage

Hydroxyzine is available in these forms for oral administration:

  • capsules
  • tablets
  • syrup
  • suspension

Typically, hydroxyzine is administered three to four times daily. Strictly adhere to the instructions specified on the prescription label and to seek clarification from a physician or pharmacist for any part that is not comprehended. Consume hydroxyzine exactly as directed by the prescribing physician, avoiding both excessive and insufficient consumption, as well as deviating from the prescribed frequency of administration.

Side Effects

Hydroxyzine may cause adverse effects. Inform a physician if any symptoms are persistent or severe in nature:

  • dry mouth
  • constipation (especially in older adults)
  • confusion (especially in older adults)
  • dizziness
  • headache

Certain adverse effects may be serious in nature. If the following symptoms are experienced, seek prompt medical attention:

  • unintentional trembling or shaking movements

  • rash
  • pus-filled, blister-like sores (lesions), areas of swelling and redness on the skin, and fever

Caution

Avoid usage of Atarax if you have an allergy to hydroxyzine or if you are pregnant. Prior to taking Atarax, it is imperative to inform your physician of any existing seizure disorders, liver diseases, or kidney diseases.

In case of serious adverse effects such as tremors, confusion, seizures, or restless muscle movements in the eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck, immediately discontinue the use of Atarax and seek medical attention.
