Abstract
The primary task of otorhinolaryngologists and allergists-immunologists is to restore unlabored nasal breathing in such patients. Symptomatic therapy includes administration of vasoconstrictor drugs, anticholinergics, cromons, local and systemic antihistamines, leukotriene receptor blockers, topical and systemic glucocorticosteroids (GCS), sorbents, pre- and probiotics. Despite the fact that the symptomatic therapy methods cannot provide a long-lasting effect after cancellation, local symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis using topical corticosteroids is generally accepted and widely used in the otorhinolaryngology practice. Flixonase is one of the topical corticosteroids that are often prescribed for allergic rhinitis. The aim of our paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment regimen of allergic rhinitis using Flixonase as a local GCS. 24 people with perennial allergic rhinitis aged from 19 to 38 years were under our observation. The following therapy was prescribed to the patients: decongestants, rinsing the nasal cavity with saline (saltwater) solutions, corticosteroids (Flixonase), mild sedatives. Flixonase showed its efficacy in our study.
