Allergic Rhinitis – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Allergic Rhinitis (US)

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic immunoglobulin E-mediated respiratory response to environmental allergens. It is typically treated with intranasal corticosteroids, followed by antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, decongestants, leukotriene antagonists, and/or anticholinergics. Allergen immunotherapy can target specific environmental allergies and work to change the response of the patient’s immune system to the allergen. The biological therapies that target circulating free IgE, such as Xolair, may be a promising novel approach to treating the disease. The availability of allergen immunotherapy and the potential of biological therapies with novel mechanisms of action are expanding physicians’ treatment arsenal and fueling competition in the allergic rhinitis therapy market.
