Abstract
Allergic rhinitis and acute or chronic rhinitis occuring in the allergic patients were treated by Cephalantin. Twenty such patients were selected and 3 to 10 mgm. of Cephalantin were administered orally. It was found that efficacy of Cephalantin was the greatest for the acute rhinitis and was not uniform and dependable for the chronic rhinitis. For the allergic rhinitis, it seemed in majority of the patients that Cephalantin was effective only when Cephalantin was in use. The effects were mainly evaluated by four symptons-sneezing, watery rhinorhea, nasal obstruction and heavy feeling of the head. Lastly optimal duration of the administration was discussed and so was simultaneous use of other drugs.
