Therapeutic agents in the medical management of sinusitis

Surgical approaches to the management of sinus disease have undergone a significant change over the past decade. The rhinologist must appreciate that the medical management of sinusitis also has been radically altered during the past 10 years by the development of newer and better pharmacotherapeutic agents for the treatment of sinusitis. These agents are best employed as part of an ordered approach to treatment with a full knowledge of their proper applications and potential drawbacks.
