Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, open-label, comparative, multi-centre trial comparing the safety and efficacy of sustained release hydroxyzine 75 mg once daily and immediate release hydroxyzine 25 mg three times daily for four weeks in 200 patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria that will be conducted in India only. The primary outcome measures will be evaluation of average change from baseline to end of study in severity of pruritus over last 24 hours, rating of number of wheals, rating of number of size of wheals, rating of number of pruritus per day at baseline visit (day 0), at the end of week 2 and at the end of week 4. The secondary outcomes will be evaluation of rating of sleep disturbance at baseline visit (day 0), at the end of week 2 and at the end of week 4; Clinical global impression on severity (CGI-S) at baseline visit (Day 0) and at the end of week 4; Clinical global impression on improvement (CGI-I) at the end of week 2 and at the end of week 4. The anticipated date of enrollment will be 25th November 2009, subject to registration at CTRI. This is not a global trial.
