Hydroxyzyme-25 (Hydroxyzine HCl) is a first-generation antihistamine with a broad range of therapeutic uses.
Hydroxyzine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Unlike newer antihistamines, Hydroxyzine also affects the central nervous system, which helps reduce activity in the subcortical area of the brain. This makes it highly effective for treating generalized anxiety and tension. Additionally, its anti-itch properties make it a primary choice for managing chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and other skin conditions. Its mild sedative effect is also beneficial for patients struggling with sleep disturbances caused by intense itching or anxiety.
