Pharmacotherapy

Pharmacotherapy is the cornerstone of allergic rhinitis management, and includes:

Allergen immunotherapy

Allergen immunotherapy involves the administration of increasing doses of the causative allergen, subcutaneously or sublingually, to induce clinical and immunologic tolerance. It is recommended for patients with allergic rhinitis, with or without allergic asthma, inadequately controlled with medical therapy, allergen avoidance, or both, or expressing a preference for immunomodulation

In conclusion, the management of allergic rhinitis requires a comprehensive approach that involves allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy, and allergen immunotherapy. The choice of treatment depends on the severity and frequency of symptoms, patient preference, and the presence of comorbid conditions.
