Hypertension: High blood pressure , defined as a repeatedly elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 with a diastolic pressure above 90.

Hydroxyzine can also intensify the drying effects of other medications with anticholinergic properties [for example, dicyclomine (Bentyl), bethanechol (Urecholine), Probanthine, amitriptyline (Elavil), chlorpromazine (Thorazine)]. When using these drugs, the dose of hydroxyzine may require reduction, therefore.
