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.
Quoted from the prescribing label, sections “Mechanism of Action” and “Pharmacokinetics”. DailyMed · 2024-10-25
Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Oral hydroxyzine hydrochloride is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hydroxyzine hydrochloride products, and in patients with known hypersensitivity to cetirizine hydrochloride or levocetirizine hydrochloride.
- Hydroxyzine is contraindicated in patients with a prolonged QT interval.
- Hydroxyzine, when administered to the pregnant mouse, rat and rabbit induced fetal abnormalities in the rat and mouse at doses substantially above the human therapeutic range.
- Clinical data in human beings are inadequate to establish safety in early pregnancy.
