Hello, does anybody knows which medication works better for itching hydroxyzine or levocetirizine?
The only way is to prevent further damage by avoiding drugs that precipitate FDE.Spontaneous recovery is seen in many,just take bcousules i cap daily for a month.
Get yourself a prescription for Hydroxyzine. Hydroxyzine is used to treat itching caused by allergies. It is an antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. The key is when you go cold turkey let the itch get to the point that you can't actually stand it anymore like a few hours after the itching starts, its hard but stretch it out. Take the Hydroxyzine and jump in a hot shower your itch will stop.
Although they resolve spontaneously but an oral antihistamine (e.g., hydroxyzine) and a topical corticosteroid may be needed. I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
, Riba, and Incivek, when a rash appears the rash itself is treated with prescription steroid creams and ointments and a strong prescription antihistamine such as Hydroxyzine. Unless the rash is severe, the medication dosages are not lowered. Actually, you cannot lower the Incivek dose. If the rash is severe, then the Incivek is discontinued (but only if the rash is severe).
It might be a good idea to ask your doctor for a prescription for Hydroxyzine. It is an antihistamine but it is much stronger than Zyrtec.
Zyrtec did absolutely nothing for me, but the Hydroxyzine worked wonders.
It is great that you can continue treatment. Best of luck.

t sleep, and the hives were really bad this morning, so we went to the hospital, where they gave her an IV with antihistamine and cortisone. The Dr. prescribed two type of antihistamines, loratadine and dexchlorpheniramine, as well as a once daily steroid prednisolone. A couple hours after returning from the hospital, the hives worsened. They are spreading across her body and the itching in unbearable. Solarcaine, aloe, cool baths, etc. have little effect.
Has anyone tried the hydroxyzine for anxiety? I took the pill today and feel weird as heck.
An antihistamine like cetizine 1 at bedtime for a week would be of great help.It may cause some sedation.External application of calamine is fine.
I am not trying to be argumentative, but the Hydroxyzine acts as an antihistamine and is used to reduce the natural chemical histamine in the body (and thus reduces both itching and rash/hives). For me, the topicals helped the itching and after about 3 weeks of using it in the same spot it cleared the rash (but only where I put the topical). It was temporary and the rash came back or moved next door or both. Also, the systemic drug reaction was going full force until I got on the Hydroxyzine.
Take an over-the-counter antihistamine.
Sometimes the insects carry bacterial infections so I would feel better if you had it looked at by an in-person M.D.
t be beat in its ability to quickly stop a dog from chewing and causing damage to itself from flea allergy, but I think it would be prudent to reduce the prednisone to once a day and stop the hydroxyzine antihistamine temporarily, since antihistamines can cause drowsiness in some pets (I prescribe hydroxyzine all the time and have never seen weakness as a side effect) .
My rash and itching never got under control until I was on both oral Hydroxyzine and the topical prescription steroid ointments. For me, the Hydroxyzine is the key. Without it, I am itching and the rash goes wild.
I I were you, I would call your doctor and/or get an urgent appt. for tomorrow and get some prescriptions for the rash and itching. You may need to be assertive (depending on your doc), but get some prescriptions.
