Atarax is a medication used to help manage anxiety in adults. It can also be used to prepare for dental procedures and to alleviate nausea and vomiting, especially after surgery or chemotherapy. Additionally, it is effective in treating symptoms of allergic conditions like chronic urticaria and atopic and contact dermatoses.
Atarax works by blocking histamine, a substance produced by the body during allergic reactions, and by affecting how certain chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, function. The syrup form of Atarax contains 2mg of hydroxyzine hydrochloride per milliliter and includes non-medicinal ingredients like alcohol, menthol, sodium benzoate, spearmint oil, and sucrose.
It is essential to use Atarax with caution if you have conditions such as seizure disorders, myasthenia gravis, or dementia. If you are allergic to hydroxyzine hydrochloride, cetirizine, or other piperazine derivatives, you should not take Atarax. Always consult your doctor before starting this medication.
