INHALATION THERAPY AND ALLERGIC DISEASES: THE ROLE OF INHALATION THERAPY IN MANAGING ALLERGIC RHINITIS AND BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AND REDUCING ALLERGIC REACTIONS
Abstract
Allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma, are prevalent chronic conditions that significantly impact patients' quality of life. Inhalation therapy has emerged as a cornerstone in the management of these diseases due to its ability to deliver medications directly to the respiratory tract, ensuring rapid onset of action and minimizing systemic side effects. This article explores the mechanisms, benefits, and clinical applications of inhalation therapy in allergic diseases. Key findings highlight its efficacy in reducing allergic reactions, improving lung function, and enhancing patient adherence. The integration of advanced inhalation devices and personalized treatment strategies is also discussed, emphasizing the importance of inhalation therapy in modern allergy management.
