The article tells about the role of antihistamines (AHs) in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). According to the modern trend, AHs are used in all forms of AR in adults and children as a monotherapy or in combination with other drugs, depending on the severity of the disease. Clinical effectiveness, high level of safety, lack of tachyphylaxis and ease of use make second-generation AH a drug of choice.
