What is Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg?
Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg (brand name Atarax) is a prescription antihistamine tablet used to relieve anxiety and tension, treat itching caused by allergic skin conditions such as hives, and provide sedation before or after medical procedures. It works by blocking histamine, a natural substance the body produces during allergic reactions, and by producing a calming effect on the central nervous system. Hydroxyzine begins working relatively quickly, typically within 15 to 60 minutes of taking a dose. Because it requires a prescription, a licensed healthcare provider must determine whether hydroxyzine is appropriate for you.
What it treats
- Anxiety and tension (short-term symptomatic relief)
- Itching (pruritus) from allergic conditions such as chronic urticaria (hives)
- Atopic and contact dermatitis itching
- Sedation before and after general anesthesia
- Histamine-mediated allergic skin reactions
How to Take Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg
- Anxiety/tension: 50–100 mg by mouth 4 times daily.
- Pruritus (itching): 25 mg by mouth 3–4 times daily.
- Pre/post-operative sedation: 50–100 mg by mouth as a single dose.
Your prescriber will determine the dose and duration that are right for you. Always follow the directions on your prescription label.
