Do you mean Atarax?

This is a very potent RX antihistamine (first generation), used for blocking the itching from opiates, among other things.

It is more potent than Benadryl.

Another version of this is called Vistaril. This is highly sedating and sometimes used as a sedative for children before medical or dental procedures. It can be used also as a tranquilizer for some patients.
