  • Antihistamine Therapy in Allergic Rhinitis
    CLINICAL REVIEW Antihistamine Therapy in Allergic Rhinitis Paul R. Tarnasky, MD, and Paul P. Van Arsdel, Jr, MD Seattle, Washington Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder that is associated with a high incidence of mor­ bidity and considerable costs. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are primarily depen­ dent upon the tissue effects of histamine. Antihistamines are the mainstay of therapy for allergic rhinitis. Recently, a second generation of antihistamines has become available. These agents lack the adverse effect of sedation, which is commonly associated with older antihistamines. Current practice of antihistamine therapy in allergic rhinitis often involves random selection among the various agents. Based upon the available clinical trials, chlorpheniramine appears to be the most reasonable initial antihistaminic agent. A nonsedating antihis­ tamine should be used initially if a patient is involved in activities where drowsiness is dangerous. In this comprehensive review of allergic rhinitis and its treatment, the cur­ rent as well as future options in antihistamine pharmacotherapy are emphasized.

Certain Cigna Companies and/or lines of business only provide utilization review services to clients and do not make coverage determinations. References to standard benefit plan language and coverage determinations do not apply to those clients. Coverage Policies are intended to provide guidance in interpreting certain standard benefit plans administered by Cigna Companies. Please note, the terms of a customer’s particular benefit plan document [Group Service Agreement, Evidence of Coverage, Certificate of Coverage, Summary Plan Description (SPD) or similar plan document] may differ significantly from the standard benefit plans upon which these Coverage Policies are based. For example, a customer’s benefit plan document may contain a specific exclusion related to a topic addressed in a Coverage Policy. In the event of a conflict, a customer’s benefit plan document always supersedes the information in the Coverage Policies. In the absence of a controlling federal or state coverage mandate, benefits are ultimately determined by the terms of the applicable benefit plan document. Coverage determinations in each specific instance require consideration of 1) the terms of the applicable benefit plan document in effect on the date of service; 2) any applicable laws/regulations; 3) any relevant collateral source materials including Coverage Policies and; 4) the specific facts of the particular situation. Coverage Policies relate exclusively to the administration of health benefit plans.

  • Management of Allergy Symptoms
    MANAGEMENT OF ALLERGY SYMPTOMS The “common cold”, which can be caused by many different viral infections, is usually self- limited, going away in several days to a couple of weeks. The mucous lining of the nose swells, causing congestion, runny nose (often profuse), postnasal drip, and cough. There is often an accompanying fever, sometimes chills, fatigue, muscle and body aches, headaches, and general ill feeling. Rest, fluids, mild decongests to reduce swelling and improve drainage, and most importantly, some “time”, occasionally up to 4 weeks, is all that is needed. “Allergies” are to blame for most of the seasonal and/or year-round “colds” that seem to happen one after another. It is only with continued repeated exposure that you develop allergies. This can occur at any age and, with any environmental changes. There is often a family history of allergies, asthma and/or eczema that predisposes to this increased biological responsiveness. “Allergens,” the offending agents, cause a release of a chemical substances, HISTAMINE, from you mast cells. Your mast cells are white blood cells that are part of you immune system involved in keeping watch for foreign invaders, and reacting to them. When they respond too easily, too quickly, you have allergies. Histamine causes a variety of symptoms, sometimes only one, sometimes several at once, including: itching, sneezing, eye irritation, nasal and sinus congestion (often with sinus pain), and headaches may develop. Mucous production increases and may drip down the back of your throat (postnasal drip) causing sore throats, voice changes (laryngitis), hacking coughs, loss of taste, smell and itchy roof of the mouth.

  • West Essex CCG Anticholinergic Side-Effects and Prescribing Guidance
    Anticholinergic side-effects and prescribing guidance . Anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) medications: associated with increased risks of impaired cognition and falls in patients over the age of 65 years. Recent research also points to a link to mortality increasing with the number and potency of anticholinergic agents prescribed. Anticholinergic Syndrome: is a state of confusion with characteristic features related to dysfunction of the autonomic parasympathetic (cholinergic) nervous system. Symptoms classified into systemic and CNS manifestations: o Systemic (peripheral) symptoms: Blurred vision, photophobia, non-reactive mydriasis, loss of accommodation response, flushed and dry skin, dry mouth, tachycardia, hypertension and fever. Gastrointestinal and urinary motility are frequently reduced o CNS symptoms: Delirium, agitation, disorientation, and visual hallucinations. Ataxia, choreoathetosis, myoclonus and seizures may also occur without peripheral symptoms. Medication Issues: several commonly prescribed medications that may not be thought of as anticholinergic have significant anticholinergic effects, which when taken with known anticholinergic medication can increase the risk of adverse effects. Many medication groups e.g. antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, drugs for asthma and COPD, cold preparations, hyoscine have varying degrees of anticholinergic activity and have the potential to cause Anticholinergic Syndrome . Clinicians should be aware of the risk for chronic anticholinergic toxicity and the fact that not all the symptoms may manifest in patients and if they do suffer some symptoms they could be wrongly attributed to another diagnosis Evidence . A study of patients over 65 found that 20% of participants who scored four or more had died by the end of the two year study period compared with 7% of patients with a score of zero.
