Composition of Atarax Drops

Atarax Drops contains Hydroxyzine (6mg). It belongs to the First-generation H1 antihistamine (piperazine derivative) class of medicines.

Uses of Atarax Drops

  • Allergic conditions with itching (urticaria
  • Dermatitis)
  • Relief of pruritus
  • Anxiety
  • Tension (as prescribed)
  • Sedation
  • Premedication when advised

Benefits of Atarax Drops

In Allergic rhinitis
Atarax blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy
Atarax calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching
Atarax relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma
Atarax reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.

How Atarax Drops works

Hydroxyzine is an H1-antihistamine that blocks histamine-mediated allergy symptoms such as itching and hives. It also has central sedative and anxiolytic effects due to action on the brain, which can cause drowsiness.

How to take Atarax Drops

Use only as directed by the doctor. Measure the dose with the provided dropper; may be given with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, give after food. Avoid activities requiring alertness (e.g., cycling) after dosing due to drowsiness.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Atarax Drops, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Atarax Drops

Most side effects of Atarax are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Drowsiness
  • dry mouth
  • dizziness
  • headache
  • fatigue
  • constipation
  • nausea
  • blurred vision

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
