Do you need a prescription for Hydroxyzine?
Yes. In the US, Hydroxyzine is a prescription-only medicine, so you can’t buy it over the counter. It is not a controlled substance, though, so it’s simple for a doctor to prescribe and refill. Before prescribing it, a doctor checks:
- What’s causing your anxiety, itching, or hives
- Other medicines you take, especially ones that cause drowsiness or affect heart rhythm
- Whether you have heart rhythm problems, such as long QT
- Whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding
With Your Doctors Online, a doctor can review this by chat and send your prescription to your local pharmacy if Hydroxyzine is right for you.
What is Hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril) and what does it treat?
Hydroxyzine is a prescription drug belonging to a class of medications known as antihistamines, with anti-anxiety and sedative properties. It comes in two forms: hydroxyzine hydrochloride (originally sold as Atarax, now available as a generic) and hydroxyzine pamoate (Vistaril and generics).
It blocks histamine, the chemical behind itching and hives, and quiets activity in the brain to ease anxiety and tension. It works fast, usually within 30–60 minutes, which makes it useful for short-term relief. It’s used to treat:
It’s also used as a sedative before and after surgery.
