[Clinical and rhino-manometric evaluation of flunisolide in treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis].

Abstract

24 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) were observed. Persons with nasal obstruction caused by other mechanisms than allergy to pollens were excluded. The increase of nasal resistance and complaints after begin of pollen season was statistically significant. The clinical efficacy of topical flunisolide in patients with SAR was evaluated. The significant building of symptoms scores and increase of rhinomanometric measured nasal patency were noted.
