Prednisolone versus antihistamine for allergic rhinitis: No significant difference found in randomized trial
Prednisolone tablets did not show superior efficacy over antihistamine tablets in reducing symptoms or medication usage in tree pollen-induced AR. These results suggest that systemic corticosteroids may not provide additional benefits over antihistamines, and clinicians should prioritize individualized treatment based on patient preferences and tolerability.
