Hydroxyzine Tab

I am taking Hydroxyzine for itching. However I am beginning to think I am allergic to a component. I am allergic to stearamidopropyl dimethylamine and develop hives when using cosmetics with stearic acid or derivatives. Is this an ingredient in hydroxyzine? The white tab is marked with an A on one site and 75 on the other. Is there an alternative that does not contain stearates? ## Hi, Rita! Sorry about the problems that you're having. What type of symptoms are you experiencing? Unfortunately, I can't find a listing for the inactive ingredients in this, however, your pharmacy should have this information on file for you. They are usually happy to provide it, if you ask them. Learn more Hydroxyzine details here. ## My issue is hives and amazingly, itching. I suspect it is the ste...

What Colors do the 25mg.Pills come in? ## Hello, MeeMe! How are you? What are the markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable me to identify it for you. This is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by quite a few different companies. Just using on pill identified, I have 6 pages of pills, so I cannot possibly list the colors and descriptions of all the 25mg one for you.

How long should you keep this drug and it be safe to take ## If you are asking if it gets dangerous to take, after a certain age, the answer is no. However, after the expiration date medications do start to lose their effectiveness and will not work as well. When it is past the expiration date, usually 1 year from the date it was filled, it should be disposed of. Do you have any other questions? ## I had a total hip replacement in 2007 and now I'm having hip and knee pain after all this time has passed. What do you think is wrong with my hip and knee. I walk on my treadmill weekly.

There is no fee, you just submit your email and print it out, then take it to your pharmacy.

I have had a total body itch for about 3 years. Hydroxyzine was prescribed but hasn't done much good. What can I take instead? ## Hello, Arvil! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. You may be able to raise the dosage to see if it helps, if your doctor approves. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. But what type of doctor are you consulting? If you've not seen a dermatologist, that would be the best thing to do in order to get to the root of the problem. Are you on any other medications? Have you tried changing the soaps you use? There are many possible causes, so you need to look at everything to determine what might be causing the issue.

My doctor gave me Hydroxyzine pills on April 12th, 2012 and I want to know if they're still safe to take again? ## HI, Nicky! How are you? Tablets begin to degrade once they are exposed to the elements, such as heat, light and moisture. This means that their time starts ticking away as soon as the seal on the original factory container is broken. From that point on, they have a one year expiration date and after that year, they being to lose effectiveness. Hydroxyzine isn't one that has been known to be dangerous once it's expired, but it's not going to continue working and having its intended beneficial effects. Thus, the best thing to do would be to properly dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My hydrox...

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?

I will definitely recheck when I go to see him next time - but I believe you are absolutely correct!! Thanks again, Patti

my hydroxyzine hcl 25 mg tablet works to controlling my itching during the day, but when I go to bed I still itch, I have even tried doubling the dose ## Hi Pat, What time do you usually take your evening/nighttime dose of hydroxyzine? Part of me wonders whether it has enough time to digest if you're going to bed directly after you take it. Based on several reviews I've seen online, hydroxyzine should "kick in" sometime within 30 minutes to an hour an a half after you take it (w/ effects lasting for hours). However, one other thing to think about if you're only itching at night, is if you might be allergic to the type of bedding you have or perhaps a new laundry detergent? I've heard about that happening to others as well so it seems to me like it may be a prime ...
