Summary
The antihistamines with inhaled steroids are the cornerstone on the symptomatic therapy in
the management of patients with rhinitis and the first line of treatment in patients with
urticaria. Currently, the use of antihistamines has become popular due to its excellent
safety profile and clinical efficacy, however to the investigators knowledge, there are no
studies about the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of these drugs in patients of
tropical Latin America. The investigators main interest is to evaluate if skin test
inhibition correlates with the clinical effect of five anti-histamines.
