Atarax 25mg Tablet

Atarax 25mg Tablet is a medicine commonly prescribed to manage skin allergies that present with redness, swelling, rashes, or itching, often seen in conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Along with allergy management, it is also used in the treatment of anxiety and is sometimes recommended to help patients stay calm before or after surgery.

This tablet can be taken with or without meals, but it should always be used exactly as directed by your doctor. The dosage depends on your health condition and how your body responds to the medicine. It is important to continue taking it for the full course advised. If you happen to skip a dose, take it when you remember, but avoid taking two doses close together.

Reactions that may occur
Some people may experience drowsiness, dizziness, blurred eyesight, dryness in the mouth, or constipation while taking this medicine. These effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if they cause concern or persist, a medical consultation is recommended.

Precautions to keep in mind
Inform your healthcare provider if you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, or problems with your liver or kidneys. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only under a doctor’s advice. It is also important to share information about all the other medications you are using, as some may interfere with its action. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can worsen drowsiness.

Why it is prescribed
• In anxiety, the medicine helps reduce excessive worry, nervousness, and irritability that usually occur during stressful short-term situations such as exams, interviews, or stage performances. It also improves concentration and reduces restlessness. Continuing the treatment as prescribed is important because stopping suddenly can cause difficulties.
• In allergic conditions, the medicine works by controlling the body’s natural response that causes itching, rashes, and swelling, thereby providing relief from discomfort.

Possible side effects
The most frequently reported complaints include light-headedness, blurred vision, dry mouth, constipation, and drowsiness. Usually, these improve on their own.

How to take it correctly
Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with food or on an empty stomach, but try to take it at the same time each day for consistency. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.

Mode of action
Atarax 25mg Tablet belongs to the group of antihistamines. It blocks the activity of histamine, the chemical responsible for allergy symptoms like itching, swelling, or rashes. For anxiety, it reduces excessive activity in certain brain regions, leading to calmness and relaxation.

Safety information

– Its use during pregnancy is not well studied, so medical advice is essential.
– During breastfeeding, it should be used cautiously, and feeding may need to be paused until the drug is cleared from the mother’s system.
