Atarax Injection

Uses
Atarax Injection (Hydroxyzine HCL) is prescribed to treat anxiety and tension in patients affected by certain mental conditions such as dementia or anxiety. It may also be used to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and it is sometimes given either before or after surgery to reduce nausea and other symptoms. In addition to this, doctors may use it together with other painkillers, to enhance their effect.

The main ingredient in this medicine helps to treat mental conditions by acting on the brain, and affecting acetylcholine and serotonin. It also inhibits the action of histamine (a natural chemical in the body which can cause allergy symptoms). Because of this, it may be considered useful for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema), chronic urticaria, pruritis and other similar conditions.
