Atarax 10mg Tablet 1*15

Introduction to the medicine
Atarax 10mg Tablet is commonly prescribed to ease allergic skin reactions such as itching, redness, swelling, or rashes that may occur in conditions like eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis. Apart from this, it is also useful in calming anxiety and may be given before or after surgical procedures to help relaxation.

This tablet can be taken with food or even on an empty stomach, but it must always be consumed in the exact manner advised by your doctor. The right dose depends on your medical condition and how you respond to treatment. Do not stop the medicine on your own, and continue it for the full course recommended. If you happen to forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless your next dose is close, in which case you should skip the missed one. Doubling the dose should never be done.

Possible unwanted effects
The medicine may cause some temporary reactions like sleepiness, dizziness, blurred eyesight, constipation, or dryness of mouth. These usually settle with time, but if they become bothersome or continue, a doctor should be consulted.

Precautions before use
People with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or liver and kidney concerns must inform their doctor before starting this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their physician. It is important to share the list of all other medicines being taken, as some may interfere with the action of Atarax. Drinking alcohol is best avoided during the course of this treatment as it can intensify drowsiness.

Where it helps
– In cases of anxiety, the tablet can calm excessive worry, nervousness, or restlessness, especially during short stressful events such as interviews, examinations, or public performances. It helps you focus better and remain relaxed. Stopping the medicine suddenly is not recommended.
– For allergic skin conditions, the tablet blocks the effect of certain chemicals responsible for swelling and itching, thereby soothing irritation and discomfort.

Commonly noticed reactions
Head spinning, blurred vision, dryness in mouth, constipation, and sleepiness are the most frequent complaints. These are generally mild.

Correct method of use
Always swallow the tablet whole with water, without breaking, chewing, or crushing. Try to take it at the same time each day for better results.

How it works in the body
Atarax 10mg Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called antihistamines. It acts by preventing the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergy signs like itching and rashes. In anxiety, it reduces the overactivity of the brain, which makes the patient feel calmer and more relaxed.
