Management of Allergic Rhinitis
Beyond the lungs, Pranlukast is highly effective at treating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever. While antihistamines are the most common treatment for this, they often do not help with the most frustrating symptom: nasal congestion.
Because of its specific target, this medication is uniquely talented at reducing the swelling of the nasal passages. It works by preventing the leakage of fluid from blood vessels in the nose, which is what causes the feeling of being "stuffed up." Doctors often prescribe it for patients who have both asthma and allergies, as it can treat the inflammation in both the nose and the lungs with a single dose. This dual-action makes it a very efficient choice for people who suffer from year-round allergies.
