About hydrochloride

What is hydroxyzine hydrochloride?
Hydroxyzine hydrochloride is a first-generation antihistamine. It belongs to the class of H1 receptor agonists, and is available on the market under the brand name Atarax. 

It’s FDA-approved to help manage anxiety and tension, as a sedative to improve sleep, and for use in preoperative and postoperative procedures. Hydroxyzine hydrochloride is also approved to help reduce pruritus or itching caused by allergic reactions, like dermatitis or chronic urticaria. 

Off-label, providers may prescribe hydroxyzine hydrochloride to manage generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) as an alternative to benzodiazepines. It may also be used to help relieve nausea and vomiting and improve sleep onset.

How to get a hydroxyzine hydrochloride prescription online?

Getting an online prescription for hydroxyzine hydrochloride only takes a couple of steps! 

Start by talking to a qualified provider who can assess your symptoms and determine if it’s medically appropriate. Types of providers who can prescribe hydroxyzine hydrochloride, or other antihistamines, include nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants/associates (PAs), and medical doctors (MDs). 

You can find a board-certified provider today on Klarity Health. If your provider determines that hydroxyzine hydrochloride is right for you, they’ll write a prescription you can fill through a licensed online or local pharmacy.

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride dosages and side effects

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride dosages and how to use it

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride dosages and how to use it

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride is available in oral tablets, an oral syrup, and an intramuscular solution. It’s on the market in the following doses:

Oral Tablets
• 10 milligrams
• 25 milligrams
• 50 milligrams

Oral Syrup
• 10 milligrams per 5 milliliters

Intramuscular Solution

• 25 milligrams per milliliter
• 50 milligrams per milliliter

Before starting hydroxyzine hydrochloride, your provider will instruct you on how to take this medication. 

For adults taking this medication for anxiety, your provider may recommend starting with 50 to 100 milligrams per day, depending on your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Your provider may instruct you to take multiple doses throughout the day. For instance, an adult prescribed 25 milligrams may take the medication 3-4 times daily. The maximum daily dose of hydroxyzine hydrochloride is 400 milligrams. 

If you’re taking hydroxyzine hydrochloride to help with allergies or itching, your daily dose may be lower. For sleep, your provider will likely prescribe one dose between 25 and 100 milligrams at bedtime.

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride side effects and warnings

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride side effects and warnings

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride can be an effective option for alleviating anxiety, improving sleep onset, and reducing itching and allergies. But there may be side effects.

Common side effects with this medication include:
• Dry mouth
• Constipation (especially in older adults)
• Confusion (especially in older adults)
• Dizziness
• Headache

Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider immediately:
• Seizures
• Unintentional trembling or shaking movements
• Rash
• Pus-filled blister-like sores
• Areas of swelling and redness on the skin
• Fever

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride may not be suitable for everyone. Discussing your medical history and current symptoms with your provider can help them determine if it’s the right treatment for you. 

Before taking hydroxyzine hydrochloride, tell your doctor if you:
• Have had an allergic reaction to hydroxyzine, cetirizine (Zyrtec), levocetirizine (Xyzal), or other medications with hydroxyzine
• Have a prolonged QT interval (a rare heart problem)
• Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

Because of the sedative effects of hydroxyzine, your provider will likely recommend avoiding alcohol, as it can make the side effects of this medication worse.

What does hydroxyzine hydrochloride cost?

The price of hydroxyzine hydrochloride is relatively inexpensive. According to Drugs.com, you could pay the following for this medication:

  • $15.66 for 30 tablets at 10 milligrams
  • $10.44 for 4 tablets at 25 milligrams
  • $18.19 for 30 tablets at 50 milligrams

If your insurance covers hydroxyzine hydrochloride or Atarax, you may be able to save on the cost. With or without insurance, you can find drug discount cards on sites like Drugs.com, GoodRx, WellRx, NeedyMeds, and SingleCareRx.

How does hydroxyzine hydrochloride compare to other medications?

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride can be effective for treating anxiety, inducing sedation, and managing pruritus. Other medications that may be used to treat these conditions include Xanax and Benadryl.

While each of these medications is effective, they work differently, and side effects can vary. It’s also important to know that benzodiazepines are a controlled substance due to the risk of misuse, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms. The best treatment option for you will depend on your medical history, symptoms, and condition being treated. A board-certified healthcare professional can assess your symptoms and determine if hydroxyzine hydrochloride is medically appropriate. If so, they’ll give you instructions on how to take this medication, discuss the side effects, write a prescription, and monitor your progress.
