Is it possible for Atarax to stimulate instead of mute?
Good morning I have a question about the drug Atarax, it was prescribed from the pediatrician for anxiety dose of 5 ml for a 3-year-old son, is it possible for this syrup to work the other way? Because the son was stimulated after him and had difficulty falling asleep greetings

Insomnia and agitation are uncommon effects of hydroxyzine. This side effect may occur in 1 to 10 patients in 1000. Most patients experience sedation and a feeling of drowsiness. Atarax is a drug with antihistamine, sedative and anxiolytic effects. Nevertheless, the so-called paradoxical agitations happen, below is a link to an example thread with such a case: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/42146/hydroksyzyna-dlaczego-po-zazycu-hydoxyzyny-25-mg-nastapilo-u-mnie-silne-pobudze The dosage of Atarax should be adjusted individually, within the recommended dose range, depending on the patient's response to treatment. In children, the documentation gives recommendations based on body weight, not age. If you have observed an unexpected reaction of your child to the administration of the drug, it is best to consult a pediatrician.
