Group comparative trial of cromolyn sodium and terfenadine in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.
Cromolyn sodium nasal spray for 6 weeks together with terfenadine for 1 week were compared with administration of terfenadine alone for 6 weeks. During the first week, significantly greater relief of nasal symptoms was achieved with the combination. Overall the results indicated that cromolyn sodium tended to be more beneficial than terfenadine.
