Why Should HydroOXYzine HCL 25mg Be Taken When Suffering From Runny Nose?
My question is I went to get a checkup for runny nose,etc. I was also given hydroOXYzine HCL 25mg that the PA said will do wonders, to take twice a day for 10 days. I kind of got the idea what it could mean but I wanted a clearer information as to what exactly it is for.

In your case, antihistamine hydroxyzine is prescribed to relieve the runny nose.
