title: [Anti-allergy therapy in children].
abstract: The discovery of the physiopathological mechanisms of asthma and the diseases of allergy has allowed the development of many symptomatic therapeutical perspectives. We review below the mechanisms of actions, routes of administration, secondary effects, dosages and indications for different commercialised anti-allergy medications. A better understanding of the pharmacology of the different medications should produce optimisation of the treatment of the allergic child.
