novo-hydroxyzine antihisthamine (10mg *10 caps)
Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine used in the treatment of allergic reactions, as with snake and insect bites, vaccine reactions, alopecia, and other causes of itchy, inflamed skin. It has anti-nausea, sedative, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anesthetic properties.Hydroxyzine comes in various dosages 10-50mg
Antihistamines counteract histamine, which is a chemical released to cause inflammation and itchiness as part of an allergic reaction. Hydroxyzine works by blocking H-1 receptors, which occur on the small blood vessels and smooth muscles. When histamine attaches to these receptors, it causes these vessels to widen causing inflammation and itchiness and muscles around the airways to contract, which causes difficulty breathing
