    Area of Science:

    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Allergic rhinitis is a common condition affecting many individuals.
    • Effective treatment options are crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the clinical efficacy of ketotifen and clemastine in treating periodic allergic rhinitis.
    • To evaluate the potential prophylactic effect of ketotifen on asthmatic bronchial crises in allergic rhinitis patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A double-blind, randomized comparative study involving 40 patients (21 men, 19 women) aged 13-57.
    • Patients were equally assigned to receive either ketotifen or clemastine.
    • Clinical efficacy was assessed for both treatment groups.

    Main Results:

    • Ketotifen proved to be clinically more effective than clemastine.
    • Patients treated with ketotifen showed significant improvement compared to those on clemastine.
    • The study suggests ketotifen may have a prophylactic role in preventing asthmatic crises.

    Conclusions:

    • Ketotifen is a more effective treatment for periodic allergic rhinitis than clemastine.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm the prophylactic benefits of ketotifen in preventing asthmatic complications in allergic rhinitis patients.
