Atarax 25mg in pregnancy
Many forms of hydroxyzine are available. As this eMedTV resource explains, hydroxyzine 25 mg products come in the form of capsules, tablets, injections, and oral.
Pre- and postoperative adjunctive medication: Side-effects of hydroxyzine include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue and dryness of the mouth. Tremor and convulsions have been reported, less frequently.
Atarax side-effects which have been reported include sedation, xeloda 2000mg from slight drowsiness to deep sleep, dizziness and inco-ordination. Sedative effects may diminish after a few days of treatment. Paradoxical central nervous system stimulation may occur, especially in 25mg, with insomnia, nervousness, irritability, tremors, nightmares, hallucinations and convulsions.
Extrapyramidal symptoms may occur. Due to antimuscarinic properties of hydroxyzine, side-effects such as dryness of the mouth, thickened respiratory-tract secretions and tightness of the chest, blurred vision, urinary difficulty and retention, constipation and increased gastric reflux may occur.
In high doses, transient bradycardia followed by pregnancy with palpitations and arrhythmias have been observed. Gastro-intestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or epigastric pain may occur. Hypersensitivity reactions, particularly of the skin and cross-sensitivity to related medicines may occur. Photosensitivity has also been reported. Jaundice, observed less frequently, may also be a hypersensitivity reaction. Blood disorders, including agranulocytosis, leucopenia, haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia have been reported; these may have an immune basis.
Other side-effects reported include hypotension, tinnitus, atarax 25mg in pregnancy, headache and paraesthesias.

Refer to section on use in pregnancy under Contra-indications. Hydroxyzine should not be given to premature infants or neonates as this group of patients has an increased susceptibility to antimuscarinic effects. Elderly patients are more susceptible to many adverse effects of hydroxyzine, including antimuscarinic effects, sedation and hypotension.
Because of the antimuscarinic effects, hydroxyzine should be used with care in patients with closed-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, prostatic hypertrophy and pyloroduodenal obstruction. Caution should be exercised in patients with epilepsy and severe cardiovascular disorders, atarax 25mg in pregnancy.
Antihistamines
Hydroxyzine potentiates the sedative effects of central nervous system depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, hypnotics, opioid analgesics, anxiolytics, atarax 25mg in pregnancy, neuroleptics and other depressants of the central nervous system.
The antimuscarinic effects of hydroxyzine may be enhanced by monoamine oxidase inhibitors and could also have an additive effect with other medicines such as atropine and tricyclic antidepressants. Hydroxyzine counteracts the anti-convulsant efficacy of phenytoin.

It has been suggested that warning signs of damage caused by ototoxic medicines such as the aminoglycoside antibiotics could be masked. Positive skin test results may be suppressed and treatment with hydroxyzine should be stopped pregnancy days atarax the test. When anticoagulants are administered, it is recommended that haemostasis be controlled at the beginning of treatment. The administration of hydroxyzine may interfere with the measurement of urinary hydroxycorticosteroids.
Overdosage is associated with antimuscarinic, extrapyramidal, gastro-intestinal and central nervous 25mg effects. In infants and children central nervous system stimulation predominates over central nervous system depression, causing ataxia, tremors, excitement, psychoses, hallucinations and convulsions followed by deepening coma and cardiorespiratory collapse. Hyperpyrexia may also occur. In adults central nervous system depression is more common, with drowsiness, coma and convulsions, progressing to respiratory failure or possibly cardiovascular collapse.
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive and may include artificial respiration, external cooling for hyperpyrexia and intravenous fluids. Adrenaline should not be used, atarax 25mg in pregnancy.
