Allergic rhinitis (nasal solution) To prevent and treat allergic rhinitis caused by airborne pollens from trees, grasses, or ragweed, and by mold, animals, and dust. To prevent and relieve the following nasal symptoms Runny/itchy nose, sneezing, and allergic stuffy nose. 

This was a double-blind study versus placebo lasting 1 year, and including 30 children aged between 6 and 16 years, 15 in the treated group and 15 receiving a placebo. The criteria for inclusion were mild to moderate asthma and/or allergic rhinitis caused by mites (8 asthmatics, 8 cases of rhinitis and 14 cases involving both). The criteria used to assess efficacy were the outcome of skin... 

Antihistamines are the most frequently used agents in the treatment of sneezing and watery rhinorrhea associated with allergic rhinitis. -Histamine receptor blockers, such as diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, loratadine, terfenadine and astemizole (see p. 422), are useful in treating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis caused by histamine release. Combinations of antihistamines with decongestants (see below) are effective when congestion is a feature of rhinitis. They differ in their ability to cause sedation, and their duration of action.

Allergic Seasonal or Perennial Rhinoconjunctivitis. Histamine can cause all pathologic features of allergic rhinitis (35—37), with the exception of late-phase inflammatory reactions. Pmritus is caused by stimulation of receptors on sensory nerve endings prostaglandins (qv) may also contribute. Sneering, like pmritus, is an H -mediated neural reflex and can also be mediated by eicosanoids. Mucosal edema, which manifests as nasal... 

RESPIRATORY SENSITIZER (asthmagen) A substance which can cause an individual s respiratory system to develop a condition which makes it over-react if the substance is inhaled again. Such an individual is sensitized over-reaction is then likely to occur at concentrations of the substance which have no effect on unsensitized persons and lead to characteristic symptoms, e.g. rhinitis (a runny nose), conjunctivitis or in severe cases asthma or alveolitis. 

The hazards with glutaraldehyde are those of irritation to the skin, eyes, throat, and lungs. It can cause dermal and respiratory sensitization, resulting in rhinitis and conjunctivitis or asthma. In the UK the Maximum Exposure Limit is just 0.05 ppm (8 hr TWA limit) and 0.05 ppm (15 min STEL) with a Sen notation (p. 93). 

Allergic Rhinitis inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nose that is caused by an allergic reaction. 

In addition to the proteins discussed above, a large number of reactive chemicals used in industry can cause asthma and rhinitis. Hypersensitivity pneumonias have also been described. Isocyanates and acid anhydrides are industrial chemicals that cause occupational asthma. Acid anhydrides, such as phthalic anhydride, seem to cause mainly type I reactions, whereas the IgE-mediated mechanism explains only a part of the sensitizations to isocyanates. Several mechanisms have been suggested, but despite intensive research no models have been generally accepted. The situation is even more obscure for other sensitizing chemicals therefore, the term specific chemical hypersensitivity is often used for chemical allergies. This term should not be confused with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) syndrome, which is a controversial term referring to hypersusceptibility to very low levels of environmental chemicals. ... 

Although mild, the adverse reactions associated with the mast cell inhibitors include headache, rhinitis, unpleasant taste, asthma, and cold/flu symptoms. These drug may also cause ocular burning or irritation, dry eye, eye redness, foreign body sensation, and ocular discomfort. 

RESPIRATORY SENSITIZER A substance that may cause sensitization on inhalation, causing, e.g., asthma, rhinitis or extrinsic allergic alveolitis. 

Upper respiratory tract infection (URI) is a term that refers to various upper airway infections, including otitis media, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and rhinitis. Most URIs are viral and often selflimited. Over 1 billion viral URIs occur annually in the United States, resulting in millions of physician office visits each year.1 Excessive antibiotic use for URIs has contributed to the significant development of bacterial resistance. Guidelines have been established to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use for viral URIs.2 This chapter will focus on acute otitis media, sinusitis, and pharyngitis because they are frequently caused by bacteria and require appropriate antibiotic therapy to minimize complications. 

Allergic rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane caused by exposure to inhaled allergenic materials that elicit a specific immunologic response mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). There are two types ... 

Pseudoephedrine (see Table 79-2) is an oral decongestant that has a slower onset of action than topical agents but may last longer and cause less local irritation. Also, rhinitis medicamentosa does not occur with oral decongestants. Doses up to 180 mg produce no measurable change in blood pressure...
