Atarax 10 MG/5ML Description

Atarax syrup is a medicine used to treat skin conditions such as itching, hives, and inflammation. It contains hydroxyzine, which is an anti-allergic agent that helps in improving symptoms such as swelling, redness, rashes, and scaly and patchy skin. Atarax works by blocking the action of a substance called Histamine which is responsible for producing allergies.

Before taking Atarax syrup, it is important to inform your doctor if you have an allergy to hydroxyzine, other anti-allergic medications, or any other components of Atarax syrup. Also, make sure to take the syrup as directed by your doctor and in the prescribed doses and duration. Shake the bottle well before use and use a spoon or measuring cup for an accurate measurement. Other syrups with the same ingredient include Hicope syrup and Atarax strawberry flavour syrup.
