Abstract

Corticosteroids are potent antiinflammatory preparations that have become a mainstay of pharmacotherapy for allergic rhinitis. Numerous forms are available, and these may be administered systemically or locally. It is incumbent upon the prescribing physician to be aware of the general guidelines for use of corticosteroids, the various preparations available, and the potential side effects associated with their administration.
