Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a common disease that affects people regardless of age, place of residence and social status. The mucous membrane of the nasal cavity often acts as a portal for allergen entry. The latest data suggest that nearly 30% of humanity are currently suffering from AR. The prevalence of AR varies from 13 to 24% in different regions of the Russian Federation. AR is one of the main risk factors for the development of bronchial asthma, as well as its exacerbations, has a significant negativeimpact on the quality of life. Therefore, the timely start of rational therapy of AR is so important. The article focuses on the drugs for local and systemic treatment of AR, discusses the issue of prescribing different groups of drugs depending on the severity of the course of AR, and shows the pros and cons of different groups of antihistamines. Ebastine is one of the modern antihistamine drugs, to which a brief overview of the treatment of AR is devoted. We can recommend this drug for the treatment of year-round AR.
