Effects of monotherapy with intra‐nasal corticosteroid or combined oral histamine and leukotriene receptor antagonists in seasonal allergic rhinitis

Abstract

Both intranasal mometasone furoate as monotherapy and oral cetirizine plus montelukast as cotherapy were equally effective for objective and subjective measures of treatment response in SAR. Domiciliary measurements of symptoms and peak flow were more sensitive than laboratory measurements of rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry and nasal nitric oxide.
