Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a common disease of great socio-economic significance. The treatment of this condition is carried out on an individual basis depending on the clinical course of the disease; it includes prevention of contacts with the allergen, medicamental and immunotherapy. The principal pharmaceuticals used to treat the patients include oral and intranasal H1 anti-histaminic preparations, intranasal corticosteroids, intranasal cromones, anti-leukotrien agents, and specific subcutaneous immunotherapy. Glencet (levocetirizine) is one of the modern antihistaminic preparations of the second generation having an advantage over other drugs for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in that it may be prescribed to the patients presenting with concomitant bronchial asthma and cardiac diseases.
