title: [Therapy of allergic rhinitis: the preferences of specialists].
abstract: The objective of the present work was to study the stereotypes of addressing such a serious medical problem as the treatment of allergic rhinitis by practicing physicians and the development of criteria for the priority choice of pharmaceutical products to be prescribed to the patients presenting with this pathology. This pharmacoepidemiological investigation was designed to elucidate the preferences shown by specialists dealing with this disease. The special questionnaire was developed to collect and analyse the opinions of otorhinolaryngologists and allergologists. The study has demonstrated that both therapy of allergic rhinitis and preferences of specialists conform with the respective international standards. However, the study revealed the lack of the adequate communicative and informational interactions between two basic components of the healthcare system, viz. doctors and pharmacists. The authors emphasize the necessity to optimize professional approaches to the management of allergic rhinitis.
