Hydroxizinhydroklorid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atarax suppresses certain functions in the brain without being addictive and blocks histamine, a substance found in the body’s tissues. In this way, it has an effect on anxiety, worry, itching, and hives.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atarax is used for itching and hives. Atarax is also used for anxiety and worry in adults.
With itching and hives, the effect is reached after about 1 hour and lasts at least 24 hours. In the case of anxiety and worry, the effect is noticeable after about 15 minutes and lasts for about 12 hours.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hydroxyzine contained in Atarax may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.
