Its use in food allergies is unclear. Allergies are common. In the developed world, about 20% of people are affected by allergic rhinitis, about 6% of people have at least one food allergy, and about 20% have atopic dermatitis at some point in time. Depending on the country about 1â18% of people have asthma.
Best Answer: Atarax will not cause a false positive on a urine test. Atarax (hydroxyzine HCl) is unrelated chemically to the phenothiazines, reserpine, meprobamate, or the benzodiazepines. It is classed as a piperazine antihistamine. Still, you need to inform the tester about all medications you are taking.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to know if a particular generic hydroxyzine product is a generic for Atarax or for Vistaril Â® (a different brand-name medication). All hydroxyzine hydrochloride tablets and syrups are generic forms of Atarax.
