How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Hydroxyzine hydrochloride is unrelated chemically to the phenothiazines, reserpine, meprobamate or the benzodiazepines.

Hydroxyzine is not a cortical depressant, but its action may be due to a suppression of activity in certain key regions of the subcortical area of the central nervous system.
