I found these capsules in my sons coat and want to know what they are. ## These tablets contain 25mgs of Hydroxyzine, it is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergic reactions, insomnia and to treat or prevent nausea and vomiting. Common side effects might include: dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and headache. More details: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## If it is a capsule then it is the pamoate version of hydroxyzine. Unlike the Hydrochloride version of hydroxyzine (Atarax,) Hydroxyzine pamoate (Vistaril) is used for drowzieness which is probably a cause for concern. Atarax is the version of hydroxyzine used for allergic reactions. I would be concerned your son is not using this for allergys.

I took my first 25 MG pill last night to help with anxiety. I woke up at 4 AM with a headache, chills, nausea, and anxiety. Is this a typical reaction since it's new to my body? ## Hello, MJ! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you had. Have you taken it, again? If so, what happened? Those aren't symptoms of an allergic reaction, but they could be side effects of the medication. The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Are you on any other medications?

Should be Hydroxizine 50mg for my dogs. Has 277 on one side with IG on the other. Color is Salmon or orange in color. Glenmark Pharm? ## Hello, Erin! How are you?

Heaven forbid I give that to my dogs!! Thanks again!! ## You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help you and your pup!

What can happen if you're taking 50 mg of Hydroxyzine for itching? ## Hello, Seleah! How are you? The FDA classifies Hydroxyzine as an antihistamine that is also used for its sedative like effects, so a higher dose may exacerbate those effects and someone taking 50mgs may experience side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, strong sedation and somnolence. They should also only take that dosage, if that's the amount their doctor has prescribed. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Is it okay to take it if it's been expired since 2011.

Small round white pill size of an eraser with 301 on top, H under it, and blank on other side ## Hi val, Based on your description and me not finding anything on H 301, I decided to look up similar imprints and came across a white round pill with a marking of "H" over "106" on one side and blank on the other. Get this though - if you turn it upside down it reads "301" on top and "H" on the bottom, (depending on how faded the number 6 is). At any rate, this particular pill is identified as a 25mg Hydroxyzine hydrochloride tablet, used for a anxiety, allergies, nausea, as well as a number of other indications. Any thoughts on whether this might be your pill?

my hydroxyzine hcl 25 mg tablet works to controlling my itching during the day, but when I go to bed I still itch, I have even tried doubling the dose ## Hi Pat, What time do you usually take your evening/nighttime dose of hydroxyzine? Part of me wonders whether it has enough time to digest if you're going to bed directly after you take it. Based on several reviews I've seen online, hydroxyzine should "kick in" sometime within 30 minutes to an hour an a half after you take it (w/ effects lasting for hours). However, one other thing to think about if you're only itching at night, is if you might be allergic to the type of bedding you have or perhaps a new laundry detergent? I've heard about that happening to others as well so it seems to me like it may be a prime ...
