Atarax 25 Tablet

Drug | Tablet

Relief of anxiety and tension, treatment of allergic conditions such as itching (pruritus) and urticaria, symptomatic relief of allergic skin reactions, short-term sedation/premedication as advised by doctor

Hydroxyzine is a sedating antihistamine (H1 receptor blocker) that reduces the effects of histamine responsible for itching and allergic symptoms. It also has anxiolytic and sedative effects by depressing activity in certain areas of the central nervous system.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food; taking after food may reduce stomach upset. It may cause drowsiness—avoid driving or operating machinery. Do not increase dose or duration without medical advice.

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

May cause significant drowsiness and impaired alertness; avoid driving/alcohol. Use with caution in elderly, glaucoma, enlarged prostate/urinary retention, constipation, asthma/COPD, liver or kidney impairment. Can prolong QT interval and rarely cause serious heart rhythm problems—avoid in patients with known QT prolongation, significant electrolyte imbalance (low potassium/magnesium), or with other QT-prolonging medicines. Seek urgent care for palpitations, fainting, severe dizziness, or allergic reaction.

Alcohol and other CNS depressants (benzodiazepines, opioids, sleep medicines) increase sedation, QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, quinolones like moxifloxacin, macrolides like erythromycin, antipsychotics like haloperidol), anticholinergic drugs (may worsen dry mouth/urinary retention/constipation), MAO inhibitors (increased anticholinergic effects)

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.
