Steroids vs immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis: - out with the old, in with the new
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Leder › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
Treatment for seasonal allergic rhinitis induced by airborne allergens can be divided into two major groups: symptom-dampening drugs, such as antihistamines and corticosteroids, and disease-modifying drugs in the form of immunotherapy. It has been speculated that depot-injection corticosteroids given once or twice a year are a safe and patient-friendly alternative to the time-consuming immunotherapy. Our data indicate otherwise.
