Hydroxyzine crosses the blood–brain barrier easily and exerts effects in the central nervous system. [39] A positron emission tomography (PET) study found that brain occupancy of the H 1 receptor was 67.6% for a single 30 mg dose of hydroxyzine. [45] In addition, subjective sleepiness correlated well with the brain H 1 receptor occupancy. [45]

For reference, the typical antipsychotic haloperidol tends to block about 80% of D2 receptors at doses ranging from 2 to 5 mg per day. [5] On the aggregate level, no typical antipsychotic is more effective than any other, though people will vary in which antipsychotic they prefer to take based on individual differences in tolerability and ...
A positron emission tomography (PET) study found that brain occupancy of the H 1 receptor was 12.6% for 10 mg cetirizine, 25.2% for 20 mg cetirizine, and 67.6% for 30 mg hydroxyzine. [30] (A 10 mg dose of cetirizine equals about a 30 mg dose of hydroxyzine in terms of peripheral antihistamine effect.) [31] PET studies with antihistamines have ...
Vistaril (hydroxyzine) – an antihistamine for the treatment of itches and irritations, an antiemetic, as a weak analgesic, an opioid potentiator, and as an anxiolytic; Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) – a pro-drug stimulant used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and binge eating disorder; Vyvanse is converted into Dexedrine in vivo
The Thorough QT/QTc study was designed to assess the effect on the QT/QTc interval, both of the therapeutic dose (20 mg) and 100 mg of bilastine, but also the coadministration of the therapeutic dose with usual doses of ketoconazol (400 mg/day), a metabolism inhibitor and a P-gP dependent transport system.
It was a combination of theophylline, ephedra, [1] and hydroxyzine, and taken by mouth. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is no longer manufactured in the US due to approval of ephedra being withdrawn by the FDA . [ citation needed ]
The WHO's definition is: "The DDD is the assumed average maintenance dose per day for a drug used for its main indication in adults." [ 1 ] The Defined Daily Dose was first developed in the late 1970s.
