New guidelines recommend intranasal corticosteroid and antihistamine combinations for allergic rhinitis (AR) treatment. These updated ARIA 2024-2025 recommendations aim to improve patient quality of life and productivity by guiding intranasal therapy choices.
Area of Science:
- Allergy and Immunology
- Pharmacology
- Evidence-Based Medicine
Background:
- Allergic rhinitis (AR) significantly impacts daily life and productivity.
- Mobile health (mHealth) data has enhanced the understanding of AR.
- These advancements led to an EAACI-endorsed update of the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines for 2024-2025.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the ARIA 2024-2025 guideline recommendations for intranasal treatments in AR.
- To provide evidence-based guidance for healthcare professionals and patients on selecting appropriate intranasal therapies.
Main Methods:
- Recommendations were developed using the GRADE evidence-to-decision framework.
- Evidence sources included systematic reviews, mHealth data, pharmacovigilance, and expert cost surveys.
- Eleven prioritized guideline questions focused on intranasal treatment choices for AR.
Main Results:
- Recommendations favor fixed intranasal antihistamine (INAH) + intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) combinations over INAH or INCS alone.
- Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) are recommended over intranasal antihistamines (INAH).
- Four questions were new, and three saw changes in recommendation strength or direction.
Conclusions:
- The ARIA 2024-2025 guidelines aid in selecting intranasal treatments for AR.
- Treatment decisions must balance clinical variability, patient preferences, and medication costs.
- These recommendations support patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers in managing AR effectively.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
