Directions
How should I take hydroxyzine?
Take hydroxyzine exactly as prescribed. Follow all directions on the prescription label and any medication guides if provided. Your doctor may change your dose based on your response; never take a larger or smaller amount than the prescribed dose.
If you or your child uses the oral suspension, shake the bottle well before measuring the dose. You should use an oral syringe or medicine cup for the most accurate dosing. Do not use household items such as kitchen spoons.
Hydroxyzine is for short-term use only; it should not be used for more than 4 months for anxiety. Let your doctor know if your anxiety symptoms do not improve or worsen.
Swallow the tablet whole; do not break, crush, or chew it.
Missed dose: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the amount or take more than prescribed to make up for the missed dose.
Storage: Keep the medication in its original container; keep it tightly closed, out of reach of children, pets, and other people. Like any other prescription medication, hydroxyzine should not be shared with anyone. Many people store their medications in the bathroom; this is not recommended due to moisture and heat.
Unused medicine: Like other prescription medications, do not consume hydroxyzine after the expiration date. This prescription drug is intended for your use only. Unneeded medicines should be disposed of appropriately to prevent children, pets, and other people from getting to them. Your local pharmacy can provide information about medication drug take-back programs. You can also learn more about proper medication disposal.
