Atarax Medicine - Uses, Dosage and Side Effects

This medicine is an antihistamine used to treat anxiety, to relieve itching caused by allergic conditions, and to cause drowsiness. Antihistamines work by decreasing the effects of histamine, a chemical the body releases that narrows air passages in the lungs and contributes to inflammation. Antihistamines reduce itching and swelling and dry up secretions from the nose, eyes, and throat. Mast cell tumors are tumors involving cells which contain granules of histamine. Patients with mast cell tumors experience chronic inflammatory symptoms due to circulating histamine. Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine may be helpful given long term though hydroxyzine could also be used.

Side Effects of Atarax

This medicine will add to the effects of other depressants and alcohol. Side effects that may go away during treatment include drowsiness or dry mouth. Dizziness, weakness, headache and confusion have been reported by some patients. Muscle spasms, including rare instances of tremor and convulsions, have occurred, usually when very high doses of Atarax have been taken.
