Default Small purple pill with letters MP merged & the #7

The merged letters MP are on the top with the Number 7 below. I think the letters might stand for MUTUAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY, INC., also think it may be for pain. Thanks for any help in IDing the pill for me!

The pill you have here is Hydroxyzine HCl Tab 25 MG
Generic for: Atarax
by (you guessed it!) MUTUAL PHARMACEUTICALS

Imprint Code MP 7
Color purple
Shape round

You will find a description (but no image) at urlmutual.com

Hydroxyzine depresses activity in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), which causes relaxation and relief from anxiety. Therefore, hydroxyzine is used to treat anxiety disorders and tension in stressful situations--before surgery, for example.
Hydroxyzine may also increase the effects of other medicines, such as pain relievers and sedatives, so it is useful after surgery also.
Hydroxyzine is also an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body. This makes hydroxyzine useful for treating allergic conditions, especially those that involve the skin, such as hives, itching, and rashes.
