Hi! The problems that you are facing are not due to "Prevnar". I would say that you are experiencing a normal reaction to atarax, which happens to be an antihistamine. These anti cholinergic effects of this drug in particular such as drying up of secretions are well known. I would ask you to switch to another medicine. This needs a face to face interview and a prescription. Thanks, Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
