Yes it can be used in peadiatric patients.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Grgeeta,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

Atarax is an antihistamine used as an antiallergic.

It can be used across all age group of patients.

For paediatric age group its available as drops.

In very rare cases, a person can be allergic to atarax itself. You may give just 1 or 2 drops to begin with, wait for sometime and then give the prescribed dose.

Atarax may cause some drowsiness.

Hope this answers your query.

Take care.
