How does Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride (Generic Hydroxyzine) treat?
Hydroxyzine is a member of the group of medicines called sedating antihistamines
Hydroxyzine main use is to help in the treatment of anxiety. The exact mechanism in which Hydroxyzine works in this condition is not fully known. Hydroxyzine is thought to decrease the activity of certain areas in the brain and thereby relieve anxiety.
Hydroxyzine acts by blocking the binding of histamine to receptors in the body and so preventing or relieving the typical symptoms of an allergic reaction.
Histamine may be released from and act in a small (localised) area of the body e.g. the nose. Alternatively, histamine can result in a serious or complete body reaction e.g. anaphylactic reaction. Hydroxyzine is only useful for the prevention or relief of localised or less serious allergies such as an itchy rash (rather than very serious allergic reactions).
Store Hydroxyzine at room temperature, between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F). Keep container tightly closed. Throw away any unused amount of Hydroxyzine after the expiry date.
