Allergic rhinitis, also called seasonal allergies, is a condition characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy and runny nose. It is triggered by exposure to certain foreign substances, such as pollen or pet dander. This exposure causes your immune system to produce antibodies, which then cause a reaction when your body comes into contact with those substances.
Allergic rhinitis affects between 10-30% of the population worldwide. The symptoms are very similar to the common cold, so it can often be assessed incorrectly, causing people to take the wrong medications. Furthermore, allergic rhinitis can negatively impact a person’s quality of life if left untreated.
Our platform guides pharmacists to review the answers you provide to the Scripted self-assessment questions to decide if you have seasonal allergies that they can treat appropriately.
We use evidence based guidelines and protocols to ask you the right questions that will assess whether it’s safe for your pharmacist to prescribe or if you should be referred to a doctor, nurse, or specialist.
Certain populations have been identified as being at higher risk for having allergic rhinitis, including patients with a family history, male sex, being born during pollen season, being a firstborn, and exposure to indoor allergens, such as dust. Additionally, allergic rhinitis is present more frequently in patients with certain other conditions, including asthma and eczema.
