Atarax is a film-coated tablet containing hydroxyzine, a product of UCB. It is supplied in 10 mg and 25 mg strengths and is used for urticaria, pruritus and anxiety.
Hydroxyzine is a first-generation antihistamine of the piperazine class. It blocks H1-histamine receptors, easing the itching, swelling and redness of an allergic reaction, and acts on the central nervous system to give anti-anxiety and sedative effects. Effects normally begin within 30 to 60 minutes and last 4 to 6 hours. Drowsiness can occur, so driving and operating dangerous machinery should be avoided while taking it. Hydroxyzine must not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in porphyria, or by anyone who has shown a hypersensitivity reaction to it.

How ordering works →What you will receive
Atarax is the originator brand name, made by UCB. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with UCB and do not ship the original Atarax.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Hydroxyzine) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
