Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a buildup of acids in your blood. It can happen when your blood sugar is too high for too long. It could be life-threatening, but it usually takes many hours to become that serious. You can treat it and prevent it, too.
Hydroxyzine can be used for anxiety, pruritus, nausea, pain or sedation. Patients will receive their dose orally or via injection up to 4 times a day depending on what the drug is being used for and the condition of the patient.
Hydroxyzine blocks the effects of histamine in the body. Hydroxyzine also depresses activity of the central nervous system and is also used to treat anxiety disorders and tension in stressful situations. Cautions: It should not be used in pregnant or nursing animals. Hydroxzyzine may cause drowsiness.
