Brief Summary   Hydroxyzine, a first-generation antihistamine, is approved for managing chronic pruritus. However, achieving clinically significant improvement often necessitates higher doses, which can lead to increased peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and subsequent side effects. To address this concern, a sustainedrelease Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride formulation (Atarax SR tablets) was developed to mitigate Cmax elevation while ensuring sufficient systemic exposure. Despite its extensive use for chronic pruritus management, there’s a notable dearth of comprehensive data on hydroxyzine hydrochloride’s effectiveness in improving PROs, especially in the Indian context. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of Hydroxyzine HCl 50 mg sustained release formulation as an anti-pruritic, by gathering data from Indian subjects on the medication Hydroxyzine HCl 50 mg SR tablets for the treatment of chronic pruritus.
