Antihistamines are used to relieve or prevent the symptoms of hay fever and other types of allergy. They work by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine, which is produced by the body. Histamine can cause itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Also, in some persons histamine can close up the bronchial tubes (air passages of the lungs) and make breathing difficult.

Atarax is an antahistaminic agent which is usually used in allergic reactions. Its function is to dry up the secretion of the nose eyes and throat that's why it is used in sinusitis, coryza. I can be prescribed in operation as a sedative before and after general anesthesia.
