Question 1

what is the difference between hydroxyzine hcl and hydroxyzine pam both 25mg?

Accepted Answer

Just a little: The active ingredient, hydroxyzine is the same in both formualtions, though the salt, pamoate or hydrochloride (hcl), to which it is attached is different. The pamoate comes as a capsule and the hydrochloride is a tablet. The release mechanism into the body is different between the two and therefore one may work better than the other for certain individuals.

Question 2

what would happen if i took 750 mg of hydroxyzine hcl?

Accepted Answer

You would be sleepy: Hydroxyzine HCl when marketed as Atarax was studied in patients with chronic urticaria at gradually increasing doses up to 100 mg every 6 hours. I've used it at single night doses of 400 mg in severe urticaria. Hydroxyzine Pamoate(Vistaril) was used as a mild antidepressant at higher doses. I would not recommend that you use 750 mg intentionally since there are better less sedating antihistamines.

Same: The HCl may taste better. Sedating antihistamine useful as tranquilizer and to reduce nausea. Use to relieve itch is valid only if treating hives. Treating any other itch is a sedative only.

Question 8

Depends: The basic principle in medicine is to give the lowest dose needed to achieve the objective. Some people can take 100mg of  hydroxyzine without problem , others just 10 mg would knock them out.  Usually the drowsiness effects tend to decline with time.  I prefer to start patient on 10 mg first then work it up over a week until the desired effect has been reached without causing side effects .
