Atarax Syrup contains the active ingredient hydroxyzine. It is a prescription medication used to treat itching, anxiety, and certain situations where sedation is needed.

Anxiety and Tension

Atarax Syrup may be used to help manage anxiety and tension linked to certain medical or psychiatric conditions.

It can help promote calmness and reduce feelings of nervousness or restlessness.

Itching and Allergic Conditions

Atarax Syrup may also be used to relieve itching caused by allergic skin conditions, such as:

  • Hives
  • Chronic urticaria
  • Other allergic skin reactions

Hydroxyzine helps block the effects of histamine, a substance involved in itching and allergic symptoms.

Sedation Before Procedures

Atarax Syrup may be used as a sedative before surgery or other medical procedures.

It can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation before anesthesia or a procedure.

How Atarax Syrup Works

Atarax belongs to a group of medications called first-generation antihistamines.

Hydroxyzine blocks histamine receptors, which helps reduce itching and allergic symptoms.

It also has calming and sedating effects on the brain, which explains why it may be used for anxiety or before medical procedures.

Important Note

Atarax Syrup can cause significant drowsiness.

Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

Take Atarax Syrup exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

The dose depends on your age, the condition being treated, and how you respond to the medication.

Shake Before Use

Shake the bottle well before each dose.

This helps make sure the medication is evenly mixed.

Measure Each Dose Carefully

Use the measuring cup, dosing spoon, or oral syringe provided with the medication.

Do not use a regular household spoon, because it may not measure the correct amount.

With or Without Food

Atarax Syrup may usually be taken with or without food.

If it upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help.

Take It on Schedule

If you are taking Atarax regularly, try to take each dose at about the same time every day.

Do not take more syrup or use it more often than prescribed.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Important Note

Atarax can cause drowsiness.

Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

Drowsiness and Dizziness

Atarax can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and slower reaction time.

Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything that requires full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

Alcohol and other medicines that cause drowsiness can make these effects stronger.

Older Adults

Older adults may be more sensitive to hydroxyzine and may be more likely to develop:

  • Drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Falls

Your healthcare provider may recommend a lower dose or closer monitoring.

Heart Rhythm Problems

Hydroxyzine can rarely cause changes in the heart’s electrical rhythm, including QT prolongation and a serious rhythm problem called torsades de pointes.

Do not use hydroxyzine if you already have a prolonged QT interval.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, a slow heartbeat, electrolyte problems, or take medicines that can affect heart rhythm.

Glaucoma and Urination Problems

Hydroxyzine has anticholinergic effects and may worsen certain conditions.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have:

  • Glaucoma
  • Difficulty urinating
  • An enlarged prostate
  • Bladder obstruction
  • Bowel obstruction

These conditions do not always prevent treatment, but extra caution may be needed.

Kidney or Liver Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver disease.

Your body may clear hydroxyzine more slowly, which can increase the risk of drowsiness and other side effects.

Pregnancy

Hydroxyzine is contraindicated in early pregnancy because there is not enough evidence to establish its safety during this period.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before using Atarax.

Breastfeeding

Hydroxyzine is not recommended while breastfeeding because it is not known whether the medication passes into human breast milk.

Talk to your healthcare provider before using Atarax if you are nursing a baby.

Allergic Reactions

Do not take Atarax if you are allergic to hydroxyzine or any ingredient in the product.

Hydroxyzine is also contraindicated if you have a known hypersensitivity to cetirizine or levocetirizine.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe rash, or difficulty breathing.

Seizure Disorders

Tell your healthcare provider if you have epilepsy or another seizure disorder.

Hydroxyzine should be used carefully if you have a condition that may increase your risk of seizures.

Alcohol and Sedating Medications

Avoid alcohol while taking Atarax.

Hydroxyzine can increase the sedating effects of alcohol and other central nervous system depressants, including some pain medicines, sleeping pills, and sedatives.

Drug Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take.

Important interactions may occur with medications that:

  • Cause drowsiness
  • Slow brain activity
  • Affect heart rhythm
  • Prolong the QT interval

Some antibiotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, heart rhythm medicines, and other drugs may increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems.

Is Atarax Habit-Forming?

Hydroxyzine is not considered addictive or habit-forming.

However, it can cause significant sedation, so it should still be taken only as prescribed.

Use in Children

Hydroxyzine may be prescribed to children for certain conditions, with the dose based on age and weight.

Use Atarax Syrup in a child only under the direction of a healthcare provider.

When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe drowsiness, confusion, difficulty urinating, fainting, or a fast or irregular heartbeat.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop trouble breathing, severe swelling, or signs of a serious heart rhythm problem.

Can I take Atarax Syrup during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Talk to your healthcare provider before using Atarax Syrup if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Hydroxyzine should not be used during early pregnancy. It is also generally not recommended while breastfeeding because it may pass into breast milk and could affect a nursing infant.

Is Atarax Syrup addictive?

No. Atarax Syrup is not considered addictive or habit-forming. It does not usually cause dependence or a typical withdrawal syndrome. However, it can cause significant drowsiness, so take it only as prescribed and do not use more than recommended.

Can Atarax Syrup be used to treat anxiety?

Yes. Atarax Syrup may be prescribed to help manage anxiety and tension. Hydroxyzine has calming and sedating effects that can help reduce feelings of nervousness or restlessness. It is usually used for short-term symptom relief rather than as a long-term treatment for anxiety.

Can Atarax Syrup cause weight gain?

Weight gain is not a common side effect of hydroxyzine. Some people may notice changes in appetite, but significant weight gain is not usually expected. Talk to your healthcare provider if you notice unexpected or rapid weight changes.

How does Atarax Syrup compare with other antihistamines?

Atarax is a first-generation antihistamine. It is more likely to cause drowsiness and sedation than newer, second-generation antihistamines such as cetirizine, loratadine, or fexofenadine. However, hydroxyzine may also be used for anxiety, itching, or sedation in situations where newer antihistamines may not be appropriate.

Can Atarax Syrup be used for nausea and vomiting?

Hydroxyzine may sometimes be used to help control nausea and vomiting in certain situations. However, it is not usually considered a first-choice treatment for these symptoms. Your healthcare provider can decide whether it is appropriate based on the cause of the nausea or vomiting and your other medications.
