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.
Hello, Thank you for asking your question at health care magic
Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine. It prevents the release of histamine, which is responsible for the symptoms of allergic reactions like runny nose, eyes watering, breathing difficulty, hives ,itching etc. In your case, antihistamine hydroxyzine is prescribed to relieve the runny nose.
