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 belongs to a group of medications known as first-generation (sedating) antihistamines. It works to treat itching by blocking histamine receptors. Its anti-anxiety activity is probably due to its effects in certain parts of the brain.
