Histamine and leukotriene are released after being triggered by allergen exposure. The combination of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) and H1-antihistamine (AH) is utilized to control the allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms after the failure of either AH or LTRA.
For controlling rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms in patients with AR, AH-LTRA provided greater beneficial effects on composite nasal symptoms, rhinorrhea, and sneezing compared to AH alone. These effects were shown in patients with perennial AR.
