Hmm. Interesting "inactive" ingredients. If you've got allergies, you don't want to take most medications out there: anhydrous lactose, colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, FD&C Yellow No. 6, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80 and titanium dioxide.
Lactose and yellow dye? I know it's a tiny amt but if you've got that kind of system ... Why can't pharma companies make things with-o dyes? Isn't it enough that the number printed on the side is a dye? Sorry. Off my soapbox now.
Here's the gist of it:
HYDROXYZINE HYDROCHLORIDE - ORAL
(hye-DROX-i-zeen HYE-droe-KLOR-ide)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Atarax
USES: Hydroxyzine is used to treat itching caused by allergies. It is an antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Hydroxyzine may also be used short-term to treat anxiety or to help you feel sleepy/relaxed before and after surgery.
