Does antihistamine hdroxyzine harm the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While Hydroxyzine is metabolized by the liver, it's use does not harm the liver. If the individual has liver damage such as hepatitis, then the Hydroxyzine may not be metabolized as it should be and side effects such as sedation may be increased.
