title: Pharmacologic Therapies in Pulmonology and Allergy.
abstract: Conditions such as chronic rhinitis, urticaria, angioedema, and asthma are frequently seen in clinics and hospitals, and there are a core group of medications that are often used to treat these conditions. Knowing the indications, optimal dosing, and side-effect profile of these medications can improve outcomes. Chronic rhinitis due to various causes is one of the most common reasons for primary care physician visits. Knowing the indications for use, forms of administration, and side-effect profiles of these medications can help improve patient outcomes in these common conditions. This review focuses on the medications used to treat these conditions.
