Abstract

Allergic rhinitis is a global health problem. Although it does not endanger the life of patients with allergic rhinitis, its symptoms, such as rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction, can seriously affect the patients' quality of daily life and cause an economic burden to individual and country. In this paper, I summarize the pathology of allergic rhinitis, as well as introduce three classes of drugs used to treat allergic rhinitis, which includes corticosteroids, H1 receptor antagonists, leukotriene receptor antagonists. Among them, azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate are taken as examples to introduce their respective targets and specific pharmacological effects when contrasting H1 receptor antagonists and corticosteroids. The reasons why corticosteroids became first-line drugs and their limitations are elaborated.
