Atarax 10mg Tablet

Atarax 10mg Tablet is an antihistamine medication primarily used to treat anxiety and skin conditions with inflammation and itching. It works by blocking histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions, and also by calming activity in the brain, which helps manage anxiety and induces relaxation.

Key Ingredient:

• Hydroxyzine (10mg): Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical involved in allergic reactions. It also has sedative properties, which help in managing anxiety and promoting relaxation.

How Atarax Tablet Works:

• For Allergies: Hydroxyzine blocks histamine receptors, which helps reduce allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and rashes. It is effective in conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
• For Anxiety: Hydroxyzine works by reducing the activity in the brain, leading to a calming effect. This helps reduce feelings of anxiety, restlessness, and tension, providing relief during short-term stressful situations.
