Description
Atarax 25mg Tablets (25’s) contain Hydroxyzine Dihydrochloride, a first-generation antihistamine with a multifaceted action. This medication is primarily prescribed for the symptomatic relief of itching caused by allergic skin conditions such as chronic urticaria (hives), eczema, and contact dermatitis. Beyond its antihistamine properties, Hydroxyzine also possesses sedative and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects, making it useful in the short-term management of anxiety and tension, and for pre-operative sedation to help patients relax before medical procedures. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic symptoms, and by decreasing activity in the brain to induce a calming effect.
Atarax 25mg provides effective relief from distressing symptoms, promoting comfort and improved well-being. Due to its sedative properties, it can cause drowsiness. This medication is available as a prescription-only medicine in Kenya and should be used strictly under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
