Early Seasonal Treatment of Japanese Cedar Pollinosis with Topical Glucocorticosteroids

Abstract

The effects of early seasonal administration of topical glucocorticosteroids for Japanese cedar pollinosis were examined. In a group that received the drug one week prior to the onset of the season, nasal symptoms were significantly suppressed in the early period of the season. When treatment was started at the onset of the season, the same effects were achieved but commenced one week later. In both groups, nasal congestion was greatly alleviated.
