Hello,

I understand your concern for the urticaria and related treatment for the same by atarax.

"Urticaria" or commonly known as hives formed due to over action of particular cells called as mast cells. There can numerous causes of the hives together with food, environmental, infections and multiples of other things which come in our contact in day to day life.

As yo are already taking atarax which contains hydroxyzine in it which actually causes sedation. In my patients with your condition I recommend them to use an antihistaminic tablet such as loratadine which is non-sedating one or cetrizine at night time.

You can receive further supervision from your treating dermatologist regarding the use of these tablets.

All the best.
