Understanding Hydroxyzine

Hydroxyzine blocks the effects of histamine. This is a natural chemical found in the body. However, during an allergic reaction, the body produces too much of it! This is the cause of the patient's symptoms! Patients receive different doses based on their symptoms and medical history. Their age matters as well! Individuals need to follow their doctor's instructions for this medication, including how often to take it.

This is one of the common meds for an allergic reaction. It is, of course, a prescription antihistamine! Patients often take it after they have already tried strong over-the-counter antihistamines for their allergies. It is also an effective short-term anxiety medication!
