Comparison of Montelukast and Azelastine In treatment of Allergic Rhinitis Allergic intent is one of the most common diseases of the respiratory system that has a devastating effect on the quality of life. The importance of studying this disease can be seen from the high prevalence of this diseas.

Inflammation of the nasal mucosa following the release of IgE can be shown as symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion.Many studies have been done in the field of allergic rhinitis to increase the cost-effectiveness of treatment of this complication. Among the treatments for this disease is the use of antihistamine nasal sprays such as Azelastine. Combination therapies such as combining Mometason furoate or fluticasone with Azelastine or Montelukast can also be mentioned. However, there is still a long way to go to find the best drug combination to reduce the economic and human costs to the global health system.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test scores (SNOT-22)
Time Frame: Baseline,month1,month3
Change in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test scores (SNOT-22) scores pre- and post-treatment.
