Efficacy and Safety of Montelukast+Levocetirizine Combination Therapy Compared to Montelukast Monotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis in Children.
Purpose: The combination therapy of leukotriene receptor antagonists and antihistamines may alleviate allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms better than monotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of Monterizine®, a fixed-dose combination of montelukast and levocetirizine, compared to montelukast monotherapy in pediatric patients with AR.
Methods: One hundred seventy-six children aged 6 to 14 years with perennial AR symptoms were recruited. One hundred forty-seven subjects were randomized into 1 of 2 groups: the mont+levo group (fixed-dose combination of montelukast [5 mg] + levocetirizine [5 mg]) or the mont group (montelukast single agent [5 mg]). Study subjects took the treatment every evening for 4 weeks and recorded their daytime nasal symptom score (DNSS) and nighttime nasal symptom score (NNSS) in a diary every day. Adverse events (AEs) were also recorded, and patients were surveyed as to their overall satisfaction with the therapeutic product they received.
Results: When DNSS and NNSS were assessed individually, daytime nasal congestion symptom scores decreased more in the mont+levo group during the 4-week treatment period than in the mont group (P = 0.0341). The daytime rhinorrhea symptom scores also decreased more in the mont+levo group (P = 0.0469). The nighttime nasal congestion score (severity when awake) decreased more in the mont+levo group than in the mont group (P = 0.0381). Study subjects in the mont+levo group experienced a greater improvement in quality of life than subjects in the mont group (P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: The combination therapy of montelukast and levocetirizine was more effective in reducing both daytime nasal symptoms (nasal congestion and rhinorrhea) and nighttime nasal symptoms (severity of nasal congestion when awake). With fewer AEs and higher overall satisfaction, combination therapy is recommended for pediatric patients with perennial AR.
期刊介绍：
The journal features cutting-edge original research, brief communications, and state-of-the-art reviews in the specialties of allergy, asthma, and immunology, including clinical and experimental studies and instructive case reports. Contemporary reviews summarize information on topics for researchers and physicians in the fields of allergy and immunology. As of January 2017, AAIR do not accept case reports. However, if it is a clinically important case, authors can submit it in the form of letter to the Editor. Editorials and letters to the Editor explore controversial issues and encourage further discussion among physicians dealing with allergy, immunology, pediatric respirology, and related medical fields. AAIR also features topics in practice and management and recent advances in equipment and techniques for clinicians concerned with clinical manifestations of allergies and pediatric respiratory diseases.
