A 4-week randomized, double-blind safety and efficacy study was conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of Cetirizine, Doxepine, and Hydroxyzine 5 in the treatment of chronic pruritus due to Sulfur Mustard. Patients were treated in the Dermatology Clinic of Baqiyatallah Hospital. The study population consisted of 75 patients with chronic pruritus due to sulfur mustard exposure. Patients were given either cetirizine 10 mg, doxe-pine 10 mg, or hydroxyzine 25 mg/day, for 4 weeks. A calculated pruritic score for each patient was taken before and 1 month after treatment. Mean before-treatment pruritic scores were 38.2 +/- 4.8, 37.2 +/- 4.9, and 37.3 +/- 5.1 in the Cetirizine, Doxepine, and Hydroxyzine groups, respectively. After treatment, the mean pruritic scores were 24.8 +/- 3.1, 17.8 +/- 2.5, and 16.7 +/- 2.3 in the Cetirizine, Doxepine, and Hydroxyzine groups, respectively. In addition, 65%, 75%, and 80% of patients in the Cetirizine, Doxepine, and Hydroxyzine groups were downgraded in the severity of pruritus ( P 114 0.465). Sedation effects were reported in 6, 14, and 18 patients in the Cetirizine, Doxepine, and Hydroxyzine groups, respectively. Hydroxyzine 25 mg/day has equal results compared to Doxepine 10 mg once daily; but greater than Cetirizine 10 mg once a day in controlling the symptoms of patients with chronic pruritus.
