			Rhinitis
		95%	Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis Classifications Diopathic Non-Allergic Rhinitis Infectious Rhinitis Other types Diagnosis Treatment & Enviromental Control Commonly used medication for Rhinitis Nasacort® (triamcinolone) Nasarel® (flunisolide) Flonase® (fluticasone) Rhinocort® (budesonide) Nasonex® (mometasone) Nasalcrom® (cromolyn sodium) This nonprescription nasal spray reduces milder symptoms of nasal discharge and sneezing. This is also a preventive medication and does not relieve symptoms immediately. Atrovent® (ipatroprium bromide) This prescription medication occasionally benefits those with non-allergic rhinitis. Oral Corticosteroids These prescription tablet/syrup preparations are very effective in treating and preventing symptoms of rhinitis. However, the side effects of oral steroids, especially with long-term use, limit their use. Your doctor may prescribe a short course (three to seven days) for more severe symptoms. It is important to note that the corticosteroids used in respiratory treatment are not the same as the anabolic steroids used by athletes. Nasal Wash A salt water nasal wash is helpful in removing mucus from the nose. The salt water nasal wash is often done before using nasal medications. It temporarily reduces symptoms of nasal congestion and postnasal drainage. IMMUNOTHERAPY National Jewish Medical & Research Center   USA
