The growing prevalence of allergic disorders in human population in recent decade has prompted the World Health Organization to proclaim 21st century to be “the century of allergy”. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most prevalent allergies being a global medical social issue. This is accounted for by its high prevalence among children, adolescents, and adults. Poor quality of life is also important since these patients have to consult a variety of specialists before they visit allergist.

The role of antihistamines for allergic diseases cannot be overestimated. AR is no exception since this disorder is a component of systemic inflammation. Therefore, systemic antihistamines are the first-line choice for AR.

This article summarizes recent global data on AR treatment, in particular, antihistamines. Results from current studies on levocetirizine as compared with the effects of other molecules on seasonal AR are addressed.

Keywords: levocetirizine, antihistamine therapy, H1 antagonists, allergic rhinitis, allergy.
