Pharmacotherapy of Allergic Rhinitis

  • Chapter
Book cover Allergy Frontiers: Therapy and Prevention

Part of the book series: Allergy Frontiers ((ALLERGY,volume 5))

The primary goal of allergic rhinitis (AR) treatment is to alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life and prevent comorbidities. In addition to allergen avoidance there are several pharmacologic agents available: oral and topical H1-antihistamines, intranasal glucocorticosteroids, leukotriene receptor antagonists, mast cell stabilizers, anticholinergic agents and decongestants.

Medications used for AR are typically administered orally or intranasally. The intranasal route allows for higher concentrations of the drug to be delivered thus minimizing the systemic side effects. However, many patients with AR have an aversion to using nasal spray, and oral medications are typically used in these patients.
