The first line treatment for patients with allergic rhinitis is a&nbsp;<strong>glucocorticoid nasal spray, such<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>as fluticasone propionate<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients with allergic rhinitis should be encouraged to avoid known triggers when possible and to use saline nasal irrigation to clear debris and allergens. Beyond supportive care,&nbsp;several pharmacological therapies can be helpful. The most effective pharmacologic treatment for allergic rhinitis is&nbsp;<strong>intranasal steroids<\/strong>. When these cannot be tolerated or are ineffective,<strong>&nbsp;intranasal antihistamines<\/strong>&nbsp;serve as a helpful adjunct and can be used alone or in combination with a nasal steroid. The addition of an oral antihistamine to a nasal steroid has not been shown to provide clear benefits over steroids alone. An&nbsp;<strong>oral decongestant<\/strong>&nbsp;may be needed when allergic rhinitis is severe, meaning that it significantly&nbsp;impacts&nbsp;the patient\u2019s quality of life. The leukotriene receptor antagonist, montelukast, can be prescribed in patients who also have asthma. If environmental control measures have been maximized and the patient is experiencing significant symptoms despite&nbsp;an optimal&nbsp;medication regimen,&nbsp;<strong>immunotherapy<\/strong>&nbsp;can be considered. Allergen-specific testing is not necessary in the routine workup of allergic rhinitis unless immunotherapy is being considered, or when the causative agent cannot be readily&nbsp;identified.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Takeaway\"><\/span>Major Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Intranasal glucocorticoids<\/strong> are the best initial <strong>treatment for allergic rhinitis<\/strong>; other adjunctive therapies such as <strong>intranasal antihistamines, oral antihistamines, oral decongestants, leukotriene receptor antagonists, <\/strong>and <strong>immunotherapy<\/strong> can be considered as needed if patients cannot tolerate or have inadequate symptom relief from <strong>nasal steroids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_to_learn_more_about_this_topic\"><\/span>Want to learn more about this topic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch the Osmosis video:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Pulmonary_corticosteroids_and_mast_cell_inhibitors\">Pulmonary corticosteroids and mast cell inhibitors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Small P, Keith PK, Kim H.
