FAQ

Hydroxyzine is a prescription medicine when purchased from local US pharmacies. However, our store policy allows you to order Atarax without a prescription and have it sent by mail. A clinician should assess whether hydroxyzine is appropriate for you before treatment.

Do not take a tablet that is visibly discolored, cracked, unusually soft or powdery, or has an unexpected odor. Appearance alone cannot identify the cause, so keep the package and check the label, lot number, expiration date, and storage history before using it.

Yes. The active ingredient in this product is hydroxyzine, the same medicine associated with the Atarax name. The supplied tablets are oral tablets available in 10 mg and 25 mg strengths; their manufacturer, appearance, and inactive ingredients may differ from another product.

Avoid alcohol while taking hydroxyzine. Alcohol can add to hydroxyzine's sedating effects and increase drowsiness, dizziness, slowed reactions, and impaired judgment.

Atarax tablets are taken by mouth, usually swallowed with water, and may be taken with or without food. Take the prescribed strength and schedule for the condition being treated; the appropriate dose can differ for anxiety, itching, age, and other health factors. Do not take extra tablets to make up for an uncertain or missed dose.

Hydroxyzine is contraindicated during pregnancy in the United States, including because safety in human pregnancy has not been established. It should also be avoided while breastfeeding because of potential effects on a nursing infant. A pregnant or breastfeeding patient needs an alternative plan from the clinician managing their care.

Description

Usage

Atarax is used before and after general anesthesia to fight worry and angst in patients and has a calming effect. The medication can also be used to treat allergic reactions, such as hives, rash, itching, and other allergic dermatologic symptoms, to specific allergens like poison ivy. For further medical reasons, your physician or another healthcare professional may prescribe Atarax.

How to Take and Dosage

Dosage Form Dosage Strength Usual Adult Dose
Tablet 10 mg 25-100 mg/day
Tablet 25 mg 25-100 mg/day
Syrup 10 mg/5 mL 10-50 mg 4 times a day

Patients should take Atarax in accordance with the dosage regimen that a physician has prescribed.
Atarax can be taken either alone or with food. Take the tablet and enough water in your mouth at the same time.
The entire tablet of Atarax is intended to be swallowed. Chewing the tablet before swallowing will not cause it to split into smaller pieces.

Do not deviate from your doctor's advised dosage regimen. Take the medication at the same time every day to prevent missing doses.

If you regularly take the tablets and forget to take them, take the missed dose of Atarax as soon as you remember it. If your scheduled dose is about to expire, take one dose of Atarax. Do not take two doses simultaneously to catch up on the dosing schedule.

If you need more advice about Atarax, don't hesitate to ask your doctor or any other medical professional.

Customer questions

Asked by Daniel Brooks, Fort Worth, United States

I know this medicine as Atarax. Will the package I receive actually say Atarax on it?

Answered by Support team

We cannot guarantee the exact brand or manufacturer name shown on the package. Before use, verify that the label states hydroxyzine, the ordered 10 mg or 25 mg strength, and oral tablets.

Asked by Megan Carter, Charlotte, United States

I live in Charlotte, where packages can sit outside in the heat. Are these tablets suitable for ordinary transportation?

Answered by Support team

Oral tablets can normally travel by mail when appropriately packed and protected from damage and moisture. After arrival, check the package and tablets, then store them at 68°F to 77°F in a tightly closed container away from moisture and light; brief excursions between 59°F and 86°F are permitted.

Asked by Rosa Martinez, El Paso, United States

I used hydroxyzine liquid years ago. What form of Atarax do you sell?

Answered by Support team

Answered by Support team
Medical reviewed by Wendy Hayes
