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.
About Hydroxyzine
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.
What Hydroxyzine contains
Each tablet contains 25mg of hydroxyzine hydrochloride as the active ingredient. Other ingredients include lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and other excipients.
Side effects
Common side effects of hydroxyzine may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. Serious side effects such as seizures, irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical attention. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction like rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Do not use hydroxyzine if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known allergy to any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially heart problems or if you are taking other medications like sedatives or antidepressants. Avoid alcohol while taking hydroxyzine as it can increase drowsiness. If you have any concerns or questions, consult your healthcare provider.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.

Very efficient
Very efficient. The website order form was simple and easy to follow. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for a medication I have previously been prescribed so I opted to buy from this company instead. The price was reasonable and the medication worked perfectly and quickly and eradicated the problem, I'm back to good health again. It arrived quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again if necessary when I can't get a doctor's appointment.
