Prugo 50mg Tablet SR

Prugo 50mg Tablet SR is a sustained-release formulation of Hydroxyzine, an antihistamine used to manage allergic reactions and anxiety. The extended-release design ensures a gradual release of the medication, providing prolonged therapeutic effects.

How it works:
Hydroxyzine works by blocking histamine receptors, thereby reducing allergy symptoms like itching, swelling, and redness. Additionally, it has sedative properties that help alleviate anxiety and tension by calming the central nervous system.

Uses:

• Management of allergic skin conditions such as pruritus (itching), urticaria (hives), and eczema.

• Short-term relief of anxiety and tension.

• Sedation before or after surgical procedures.

Dosage and Administration:
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your specific condition and response to therapy.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:

• Drowsiness or sedation

• Dizziness

• Dry mouth

• Blurred vision

• Constipation

These side effects are usually mild and may subside as your body adjusts to the medication. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Precautions:

• Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it may enhance drowsiness and increase the risk of side effects.

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

• Breastfeeding: Use with caution during breastfeeding; discuss with your doctor whether to continue breastfeeding or discontinue the medication.

• Driving and Operating Machinery: This medication may cause drowsiness or affect your alertness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.

• Kidney and Liver Impairment: Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver conditions. Dose adjustments may be necessary.

Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose—do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Note:
This medication is intended for short-term use. Long-term use should be under strict medical supervision due to potential side effects. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
