Abstract
A systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing efficacy and safety of intranasal antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and their fixed-dose combinations in allergic rhinitis.
Methodology
Searched databases for RCTs comparing intranasal antihistamines, corticosteroids, and combination sprays.
Key Findings
Combination intranasal antihistamine/corticosteroid sprays generally outperformed either monotherapy alone for overall symptom relief.
Conclusions
Combination intranasal therapy may offer superior symptom control compared with monotherapy in allergic rhinitis.
Limitations
Full author list and journal not verifiable; network meta-analysis limited by heterogeneity and indirect comparisons.
