Hydroxyzine is a member of the diphenylmethylpiperazine and ethano-piperidine class of drugs. Analogues of hydroxyzine include buclizine, cetirizine, cinnarizine, cyclizine, etodroxizine, meclizine, and pipoxizine among others. It is synthesized by the alkylation of 1-(4-chlorobenzhydryl)piperazine with 2-(2-Chloroethoxy)ethanopiperidine<ref>H. Morren, U.S. Patent 2,899,436 (1959); H. Morren, DE 1049383 (1954); H.
