Etarex Syp (100Ml) Hydroxyzine Hcl 10Mg/5Ml by Elder

What is it used for?
Hydroxyzine is mainly used to relieve itching and other symptoms caused by allergies, including hives. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe it for short-term anxiety or to cause drowsiness before a procedure.

How does it work?
It blocks histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions, helping reduce itching and allergy symptoms. It can also have a sedating effect, which may cause drowsiness.

How to take/use it
Take by mouth exactly as prescribed. Measure the liquid with an oral syringe or measuring spoon, not a household spoon. Do not take more than prescribed. Avoid driving or operating machinery until its effects are known.

Common side effects
Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation and headache.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol and check with a doctor before using other medicines that cause drowsiness. Use only with medical advice if there is a history of heart rhythm problems, glaucoma, difficulty urinating, breathing problems, or in older adults. Tell the doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek urgent medical help for fainting, severe palpitations or a serious allergic reaction.
