How It Works:

• Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, reducing allergy symptoms.

• It also works on the brain to produce calming and relaxing effects, helping with anxiety and sleep.

This makes it helpful for both allergies and anxiety-related symptoms.

• Your doctor decides the exact dose.
