Question : I have nervous problem I can't sleep and I have itchy in my armpit I'm taking 10 mg iterax at bedtime at the beginning it really works but now it doesn't work can I take 25 mg Atazen (hydroxy zine) at bedtime? I'm taking lisonopril and atorvastatin everyday
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take atazen.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Atarax is having hydroxyzine. It is first generation antihistamine.
You can definitely take it. But better to take it just before bedtime as it is having side effect of sedation.
So you can try Atarax at bedtime without any fear or tension.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I can understand your concern.
Well, first generation antihistamine drugs are addictive if taken for long duration (more than 2 - 3 months).
So you can take it for 10-15 days.
Or you can try fexofenadine 120mg at night. It is newer antihistamine without addictive property.
