No: Atarax (hydroxyzine) is not a drug tested for in drug testing  it is an antihistamine and non-addictive.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Cause of itch?: You need to find out what the cause of the problem is. That medication you listed does help with itching, but I would recommend seeing your doctor or a dermatologist to help assess the problem.

Question 4

i have hives on my hands that shown up 2 days in a row from medications named lexapro and atarax after the drugs ware off they disappear after a few hours is it a cause for concern?i have just started them saturday night?

Accepted Answer

: The rash may not be related to the medication, and it is best to have a consultation either with Healthtap or your PCP. Hives tend to be blotchy, red and may disappear and reappear. Discuss whether there are treatment alternatives. Watch for signs of itching, spread of the hives and shortness of breath/difficulty breathing. Discuss whether an antihistamine should be used.

Question 5

is atarax (hydroxyzine) right  medicine ...for mosquito bite to my 7 months old baby ..as she got six to seven red rashess.. kind of little swelling with pimple.

Accepted Answer

No, too strong: I think Atarax (hydroxyzine)  is a bit too strong to use for bug bites in a baby. It can cause sedation. If the bites don't bother her, leave them alone and they will resolve on their own. If she is very itchy and uncomfortable, see your doctor to make sure it is bug bites before you medicate an infant.

Question 6

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is ok: You can give tylenol (acetaminophen) with atarax.

Question 8

my one side cheek and upper lip swollen from past 5 month.i am having medicines- betnesol and atarax (hydroxyzine) 25 mg.if i will nt take for 1 day.again swilling ?

Accepted Answer

See Allergist: Could be suffering from chronic idiopathic or spontaneous angioedema (swelling). ACE inhibitors can cause this as well. Aspirin and NSAID's (such as ibuprofen or Alleve) can sometimes cause flares. Daily high dose antihistamines are first line treatment however if you are not well controlled on this regimen see Allergist for further workup, make sure not hereditary or acquired angioedema.
