Atarax Hydroxyzine Antihistamine

Atarax is a prescription medication that works by reducing activity in the central nervous system, making it effective as both a sedative and an antihistamine. Commonly used to treat anxiety and tension, Atarax is also administered alongside anesthesia to promote relaxation before medical procedures.

In addition to its calming effects, Atarax helps alleviate allergic skin reactions such as hives, itching, and contact dermatitis by blocking the action of histamine, the chemical responsible for allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and skin irritation.

Key Uses:

• Sedative for anxiety and tension relief
• Pre-anesthetic adjunct to promote relaxation
• Treatment for allergic skin conditions (e.g., hives, dermatitis)
• Antihistamine to reduce symptoms like sneezing and itching
