I take Hydroxyzine Hel Tabs 10 for Mastocytosis - a mast cell condition. My doctor said I could get this in OTC but I don't know what product to look for - can you help? ## Hello, Patti! How are you? No, Hydroxyzine is only available via prescription. There are others that are available over the counter, but not this specific one. Can you contact your doctor to ask what they were talking about? They may have been suggesting you try a different one. ## Thank you so much - I am beginning to think I misunderstood the doctor. I will definitely recheck when I go to see him next time - but I believe you are absolutely correct!! Thanks again, Patti

Over the counter substitute for Atarax ## Atarax contains the active ingredient Hydroxyzine, which is an antihistamine. Since I do not know your medical history, I cannot guess why your doctor may have prescribed it; but it is used to treat allergies, prevent nausea, to treat anxiety as well as some other conditions. In order to recommend a good substitute, one would essentially need to know "why" you're taking this medication in the first place. If you could please post back with more information that would great. I hope this helps!

used for allergies and anxiety ## Hello, D Jane! How are you? There are quite a few other antihistamines available, some via prescription and some over the counter. But many don't help as much for anxiety, but one over the counter option would be Diphenhydramine and another prescription option would be Promethazine. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

What over the counter med can I take in place of Hydroxyzine hcl 25mg? ## Hydroxyzine is used to relieve the itching caused by allergies and to control the nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including motion sickness. It is also used for anxiety and to treat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. I'm not sure if it has any other uses outside of those mentioned above, but if you're looking for a replacement medication, I think it'll largely depend on what reasons you're taking it for? ## Need hydroxyzine for allergies, nausea and anxiety as I'm trying to wean off of lithium and lamotrigine. This is my second week. So far so good. I am so sick of prescription meds. ## I got prescribed Hydroxyzine hcl 25mg for treating itchiness, but I ran out and need somet...

I need the best over the counter meds available as an alternative to hydroxyzine hcl. They say zyrtec, benadryl & bonine are good substitutes? Plz verify. Are there any others? I'm looking for a calming effect. ## The most calming of those choices would be the Benadryl, which is also available as a generic, but you should only take it if your doctor agrees that it is safe for you. It can also cause drowsiness and dizziness as a side effect, according to NIH reports. Is there anything else I can help with?

I Have several itching to most all pain killers and lots of other meds like middle relaxers and some over the counter meds. The itches is so severe that almost rather hurt than to itch. I have severe back and neck drama so I can't get out of bed if I don't take at least one pain pill a day. To do this I have to take 4 hydroxyzine Pamela to take one hydro 10. When it wears off I can not take another pain pill for 24hours if I don't want to claw my skin off. Is 4 hydroxyzine 50mg going to hurt me in the long run? ## Hello, Tag! How are you? The maximum daily dose of Hydroxyzine is 100mgs, so you are exceeding that and may be risking overdose due to its sedating effects. Overdose symptoms may include severe dizziness, severe drowsiness, slow heart rate, low blood pressure and s...

What otc can be used in substitution or at least close to for hydroxyzine hcl 25mg. It would be for nausea and other similar side effects of methadone detox. Thanks ## Hello, Brit! How are you? The closest medications available over the counter would most likely be Benadryl/Diphenhydramine or Bonine/Meclozine. Both are classified by the FDA as antihistamines that can have some sedative like effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, somnolence and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## yes, there is! :) Are there any otc medicines or - herbal supplements that are like the following: catapres, Donnetol? l Ask because a friend who quickly detoxed off methadone before was perscribed: Catapres .1mg 2/4 X a day vistoril 25mg 2/4 a day Donnetol tab 2/3 X a day Plus lbprofen You al...

I was prescribed hydroxyzine for itching with a bad case of poison ivy. I found that helped with my mild anxiety. Is there anything similar over the counter that I can purchase for the anxiety? Thanks! ## Hello, Hearher! How are you? Unfortunately no, there is nothing as potent available over the counter. Have you tried anything else to treat the anxiety? There are quite a few non-habit forming options that your doctor can prescribe, such as Prozac. The FDA classifies it as an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight loss. ## Hi. Have you tried essential oils for anxiety? I had it really bad but now I am in control with DoTERRA.

round white pill with k10 on one side and nothing on the other side ## This is Acetaminophen 500mgs, an over the counter generic or store brand for Extra Strength Tylenol. ## If the K has an arrow forming the top right part of the K, it is generic Tylenol 500mg. If the K has no arrow, it is Atarax 10mg which is a prescription medication. ## The hell it is. It's 10mg hydroxyzine used to treat anxiety, allergies, and other conditions. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE AS SUBSTITUTE FOR TYLENOL ## I have a small round white pill that's smooth on one side and the other side has a k10 on it. Can you identify it? I found it on the kitchen floor while mopping.

can someone tell me what this round dark pink or maroon with rugby on one side and 3875 on other. ## From what I've heard, the "rugby" imprint has been discontinued for quite some time. Rumors suggest that it used to be an imprint that Watson Pharmaceuticals used on their over the counter meds... However, Watson has since been taken over by Actavis; and Actavis (as of August 2016) has since been taken over by Teva... Having said this, I would still encourage you to try contacting the manufacturer directly for more specific details... Another option is to have the tablet analyzed by a lab. Does anyone else here recognize this pill? ## Hydroxyzine from the 1990s

Why was my 9yr. old child prescibed hydroxyz for his first bout with urticaria instead of benydryll? ## Dear MOM - " Hydroxyzine is used primarily as an antihistamine for the treatment of itching, allergies, hyperalgesia, motion sickness-induced nausea, and insomnia, as well as notably for the treatment of mild anxiety. Even though it is an effective sedative, hypnotic, analgesic, and tranquilizer, it shares almost none of the abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other drugs used for the same range of therapeutic reasons. " It sounds like your child's physician felt it would be best to administer this treatment instead of an over the counter product. You can read more about this medication at: Hope this helps!
