Allergic rhinitis:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Treatment aims to control symptoms by eliminating the environmental antigen, if possible, and providing drug therapy and immunotherapy.
Antihistamines block histamine effects but commonly produce anticholinergic adverse effects (sedation, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and nervousness). Antihistamines, such as cetirizine, loratadine, and fexofenadine, produce fewer adverse effects and are less likely to cause sedation.
Inhaled intranasal steroids produce local anti-inflammatory effects with minimal systemic adverse effects. The most commonly used intranasal steroids are fluticasone, mometasone, and triamcinolone. These drugs are effective when symptoms aren’t relieved by antihistamines alone.
Advise the patient to use intranasal steroids regularly as prescribed for optimal effectiveness. Cromolyn may be helpful in treating hay fever, but this drug may take up to 4 weeks to produce a satisfactory effect and must be taken regularly during allergy season. Eye drop versions of cromolyn and antihistamines are available for itchy, bloodshot eyes.
Long-term management includes immunotherapy, or desensitization with injections of extracted allergens, administered before or during allergy season or perennially. Seasonal allergies require particularly close dosage regulation.

Allergic rhinitis:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
Symptoms may be prevented by eliminating the environmental antigen, if possible, and by obtaining drug therapy and immunotherapy.
Antihistamines and nasal decongestants are useful for treating acute symptoms. Although these drugs block histamine effects, they do have some adverse anticholinergic effects (sedation, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and nervousness).
Newer antihistamines, such as cetirizine and loratadine, have proved effective in clinical trials. Fexofenadine may be effective but with less sedation and a lower risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
Inhaled intranasal steroids produce local anti-inflammatory effects with minimal adverse systemic effects. The most commonly used intranasal steroids are flunisolide and beclomethasone. These drugs usually aren’t effective for acute exacerbations, but they can help control chronic symptoms.
Advise the patient to use intranasal steroids regularly, as prescribed, for optimal effectiveness. Cromolyn sodium may be helpful in preventing allergic rhinitis; however, this drug may take up to 4 weeks to produce a satisfactory effect and must be taken regularly during allergy season.
Long-term management includes immunotherapy or desensitization with injections of extracted allergens administered before or during allergy season or perennially. Seasonal allergies require particularly close dosage regulation. Local nasal immunotherapy is also being studied.
