Atarax

Description

Product Overview
Atarax is a prescription medication used to treat allergic skin conditions, itching, hives, anxiety, tension, and symptoms associated with allergic reactions. It helps relieve itching, redness, swelling, and skin irritation while also providing a calming effect in individuals experiencing anxiety and nervousness. Atarax is commonly prescribed for both allergy-related conditions and short-term management of anxiety symptoms.

Available Variants

• Atarax 10 mg Tablet
• Atarax 25 mg Tablet

Both strengths contain the same active ingredient but may be prescribed according to the severity of symptoms and individual treatment requirements.

Active Ingredient

• Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride 10 mg
• Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride 25 mg

Hydroxyzine belongs to a class of medications known as first-generation antihistamines.

How It Works
Hydroxyzine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance naturally produced by the body during allergic reactions. This helps reduce itching, swelling, rashes, and other allergy symptoms. It also acts on certain areas of the brain to produce a calming effect, helping relieve anxiety, tension, and restlessness.
