First-line treatment of hay fever: what is the best option?
نویسنده
چکیده
LE CHOIX D’UN TRAITEMENT DE PREMIÈRE LIGNE contre la rhinite allergique saisonnière, ou fièvre des foins, peut rendre perplexe face au vaste éventail de moyens de traitement disponibles qui ont à peu près la même efficacité et qui sont très annoncés dans le public. Même si la fièvre des foins ne met pas la vie en danger, elle est une cause d’ennuis et d’inconfort considérables pour environ 15 % des Nord-Américains à un moment quelconque, le plus souvent au cours de l’enfance ou au début de l’âge adulte. On semble s’entendre de plus en plus pour reconnaître qu’une des pharmacothérapies les plus efficaces consiste à utiliser régulièrement des corticostéroïdes par voie intranasale et des antihistaminiques oraux au besoin. Néanmoins, comme les réactions des patients aux remèdes contre la fièvre des foins varient énormément, un traitement personnalisé s’impose.
