Hydroxyzine is a medication that is used for various medical purposes. It is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergic reactions and itching, as well as anxiety and tension. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance produced by the body in response to an allergic reaction.

Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, blurred vision, and confusion are all possible side effects of hydroxyzine. Other side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and changes in heart rate. It can occasionally cause more serious side effects like seizures or allergic reactions.

Hydroxyzine may interact with other medications, so make sure to tell us about all of your medications, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. It is also important to avoid alcohol while taking hydroxyzine, as it can increase the medication's sedative effects.
