About Hydroxyzine

Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that helps to relieve symptoms of itching, hives, and anxiety. It contains the active ingredient hydroxyzine hydrochloride, which works by blocking histamine that your body produces during an allergic reaction. This medication is suitable for adults and children for managing itching and anxiety symptoms.  

Dosage and usage

For itching, the usual dose for adults is 25mg 3 to 4 times daily. For anxiety, the dose may vary but is typically 50-100mg daily in divided doses. It's important not to exceed the recommended dose. Hydroxyzine can cause drowsiness, so avoid activities requiring mental alertness. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
