Abstract: The prevalence of allergic rhinitis has increased in recently years. Pharmacotherapy is the main method to control the symptoms for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. A wide array of medical treatment options is available. Each drug has a different effect and speciality. Algorithms for management of allergic rhinitis AR and selection of drug should be based on each patients specific symptoms, and the presence of any comorbidities. Patient should be monitored to assess symptom control, therapy adjustment(step up/step down)is also needed.

Key words: Individualization, Allergic rhinitis, Pharmacotherapy
