Conditions treated by hydroxyzine
Hydroxyzine is used for the treatment of anxiety, tension, and pruritus (itching). It can also be used as a sedative, an antihistamine, and for the prevention and control of nausea and vomiting.
One of the main uses of hydroxyzine is to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and tension. It helps to calm the mind and reduce feelings of restlessness, making it an effective treatment for individuals with anxiety disorders. It can also be prescribed to help manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.
In addition to its anxiolytic properties, hydroxyzine is commonly used to relieve allergic reactions such as itching, hives (urticaria) and skin rashes. It acts by blocking the release of histamine, a substance that triggers allergic reactions in the body. By reducing the release of histamine, hydroxyzine can help alleviate these symptoms and provide relief to individuals suffering from allergies.
Furthermore, hydroxyzine can be prescribed as a sedative to treat insomnia, a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. By promoting relaxation and drowsiness, hydroxyzine can aid in initiating and maintaining sleep, allowing individuals to experience a restful night.
How does hydroxyzine work?
Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions. By blocking histamine, hydroxyzine helps to relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling. It also has sedative properties that can help with anxiety and promote relaxation.
Forms of hydroxyzine available
Hydroxyzine is available in various forms, including oral tablets, capsules, and oral solutions.
Dosage of hydroxyzine
The dosage of hydroxyzine may vary depending on the individual’s condition, medical history, and response to the medication. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider. If you miss a dose of hydroxyzine take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
Directions for hydroxyzine use
Hydroxyzine should be taken exactly as directed by the healthcare provider. The medication is usually taken orally, with or without food. It is important to swallow the tablets or capsules whole and avoid crushing or chewing them. Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
Warnings and precautions for hydroxyzine
- Use caution when driving or operating machinery, as hydroxyzine may cause drowsiness or impair coordination
- Hydroxyzine is very similar to cetirizine and levocetirizine. Do not use these medications while using hydroxyzine
- Allergic reactions to hydroxyzine can range from mild skin reactions to severe symptoms like trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, and anaphylaxis. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional if you have a history of hypersensitivity to any medications before using hydroxyzine
- Hydroxyzine can potentially prolong the QT interval, which is the time taken for the heart to recharge between beats. If an individual has a history of QT prolongation a condition that affects the heart’s electrical activity, the use of hydroxyzine may increase the risk of developing a potentially life-threatening irregular heart rhythm. Patients with this condition or family history should avoid hydroxyzine or use it with extreme caution under the close supervision of a healthcare professional
- Use with caution in people with a history of low blood levels of potassium or magnesium
- Hydroxyzine can cause an increase in intraocular pressure and worsen the symptoms of glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye. Individuals with glaucoma should exercise caution when using hydroxyzine and discuss the risks and benefits with their eye specialist
- Hydroxyzine has anticholinergic effects, which means it can interfere with normal bladder function and potentially cause urinary retention. Individuals with a history of urinary retention or bladder outlet obstruction should use hydroxyzine with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional
Drug interactions
Some medications that may interact with hydroxyzine include:
- Central nervous system (CNS) depressants: Hydroxyzine has sedative properties, and combining it with other medications that have similar effects, such as opioids, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates, may increase drowsiness and impair mental alertness
- Anticholinergic medications: Hydroxyzine has anticholinergic effects, meaning it can interfere with certain nerve signals in the body. Taking hydroxyzine alongside medications that also have anticholinergic properties, like some antidepressants, antihistamines, or muscle relaxants, may increase the risk of side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and urinary retention
- QT-prolonging medications: Some medications can prolong the QT interval in the heart’s electrical activity, potentially leading to a life-threatening heart rhythm known as torsades de pointes. Hydroxyzine has the potential to prolong the QT interval as well. Therefore, taking hydroxyzine with other medications that can also prolong the QT interval, such as certain antibiotics, antipsychotics, and antiarrhythmics, may increase the risk of developing this serious heart condition
- Combining hydroxyzine with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which are a type of antidepressant medication, can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by symptoms such as confusion, agitation, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, and muscle stiffness
It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins, to ensure that they can assess any potential interactions with hydroxyzine. They can then make appropriate adjustments to your medication regimen to minimize the risk of adverse effects and provide medical advice.
Use of hydroxyzine during pregnancy and breastfeeding
The use of hydroxyzine during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be carefully considered, and the potential risks and benefits should be discussed with a healthcare provider. Hydroxyzine should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Possible side effects of hydroxyzine
Common side effects of hydroxyzine may include drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, and blurred vision. Serious side effects are possible but less common. Promptly report any concerning symptoms to a healthcare provider to seek medical attention immediately.
Similar drugs to hydroxyzine
Other antihistamine medications used for the treatment of allergies, itching, and anxiety include cetirizine, loratadine, and diphenhydramine.
