It is excellent for itcheyness. That's why I have used it 16 years. I even had my
Dermatologist write me a Prescription for it to be Compounded into Hydroxyzene 2 % Cream. I can use it topically to an Extra Itchey Area. It doesn't even make me tired , or thirsty , Zip , Nothing at all. Drugs react on everyone differently. What is good for one , is bad for another !
