Hydroxyzine is a medication used to treat itching, anxiety, and tension. It belongs to a class of drugs called antihistamines, which work by blocking histamine, a substance produced by the body that causes itching, swelling, and other allergic reactions. Hydroxyzine can also be used as a sedative to help people relax and fall asleep.
How to take Hydroxyzine:
Hydroxyzine is available in several forms, including tablets, capsules, syrup, and injection. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by the doctor, usually 2 to 4 times a day with or without food. Follow all instructions on the label and do not take more than the recommended dose.
