Vistaril (hydroxyzine) is primarily administered orally or intramuscularly; however, it is not typically given intravenously (IV). While there may be some off-label uses or specific clinical situations where an IV route might be considered, it is generally avoided due to the risk of adverse effects and lack of established protocols for IV administration. Always consult a healthcare provider for guidance on medication routes and dosages.

Can vistaril be given iv push?

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) is typically administered via oral or intramuscular routes, and intravenous (IV) push administration is not commonly recommended. While some healthcare providers may use it off-label in specific situations, IV push can increase the risk of adverse effects and is not the standard practice. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on the appropriate route of administration for any medication.


Does vistaril enhance the effects of oxycodone?

Yes. First generation antihistamines (i.e. Vistaril, Benadryl) increase the analgesic effects of most opiates so that a lower dose of opiate can be given. Antihistamines also reduce some of the side effects, such as itching and nausea. Vistaril can also inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes Oxycodone, but I think that is negligible unless the Vistaril dose is very high (over 100mg).
