How Hydroxyzine works

  • Hydroxyzine falls under the Antihistamine agent category. It prevents allergies by inhibiting the function of a chemical messenger (histamine). It helps to reduce allergy symptoms such as itching, hives, and swelling. Short-term anxiety is treated by lowering brain activity, resulting in a state of relaxation.
