Healthcare providers will often prescribe Atarax® (hydroxyzine hydrochloride) to improve the effectiveness of opioid pain relievers. The medication can also be used to treat anxiety associated with certain psychiatric disorders and to relieve itching due to various causes. It is generally taken two to four times a day, depending on your age and the condition being treated.
 
While most people tolerate Atarax well, potential side effects include headaches, dry mouth, and drowsiness. Some people are more likely to experience problems than others, which is why it's important to tell your healthcare provider about all other drugs you are taking and any other medical conditions you have before beginning treatment.
