Abstract:
:This article provides guidelines for pharmacotherapy to maximize symptom relief from allergic rhinitis. Consideration of frequency, severity, and site of symptoms is important in directing pharmacotherapy efficacy and maximizing cost-effectiveness. The agents available include antihistamines, decongestants, steroids, mast cell stabilizers, anticholinergic agents, and mucolytics. Appropriate indications for each and combinations of various agents are discussed within the context of drug efficacy, side effects, affordability, and ease of compliance. The direct and indirect costs of allergic rhinitis are not well delineated but are explored to put the costs of therapy in perspective.
