Why Hydroxyzine?
Hydroxyzine is used to treat itching caused by allergies. It is an Antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (Histamine) that body makes during allergic reactions during some conditions like dermatitis, Eczema, and Chronic Utricaria. Hydroxyzine may als be used short-term to treat Anxiety as it reduces the activity in the Central Nervous System, and it also helps you feel sleepy/relaxed before and after surgery.
