- There’s this concept of antihistamines that people know about and [has] been around for many years. Can [antihistamines] help with this condition?
- Dr. Lieberman:
- Non-allergic rhinitis is usually a more difficult disease to treat than the allergic form. Until recently there were very few drugs approved [by the Federal Drug Administration, or FDA] for use in non-allergic rhinitis. Recently, one drug called azelastine or Astelin – which is a unique antihistamine [that] one sprays in their nose – has been shown to be effective in the treatment of this disorder.
So for the first time we have a non-corticosteroid drug that is useful in the treatment of this disease. Patients suffering from this type of non-allergic rhinitis should seek care for this disorder.
