What medications are used for vasomotor rhinitis?

Vasomotor rhinitis is a non-allergic, non-infectious inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Generally, vasomotor rhinitis can usually be treated with medications such as beclomethasone dipropionate cream, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, naphazoline hydrochloride nasal drops, ipratropium bromide solution for inhalation, mometasone furoate nasal spray. It is recommended to consult a qualified physician to select the appropriate medication. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Beclomethasone Dipropionate Cream

Beclomethasone dipropionate cream is a glucocorticoid drug that exerts anti-inflammatory effects by modulating gene transcription, increasing anti-inflammatory gene transcription, and decreasing inflammatory gene transcription. It is suitable for symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose caused by vasomotor rhinitis.

2. Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets

Cetirizine hydrochloride tablets are antihistamine medications that counteract the effects of histamine-induced capillary dilation, increased vascular permeability, and smooth muscle contraction. They help alleviate symptoms such as nasal itching and sneezing and can be used to treat nasal itching and sneezing caused by non-immunological factors that trigger mast cell release of histamine.

3. Naphazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Drops

Naphazoline hydrochloride nasal drops are imidazole-class decongestants that constrict blood vessels in the skin and mucous membranes and reduce blood engorgement. They help improve symptoms such as nasal mucosal hypertrophy and impaired nasal breathing caused by vasomotor rhinitis.

4. Ipratropium Bromide Solution for Inhalation

Ipratropium bromide solution for inhalation is a highly selective M-receptor blocker that primarily inhibits nasal gland secretion, helping to reduce symptoms such as rhinorrhea. It is suitable for symptoms such as rhinorrhea caused by vasomotor rhinitis.

5. Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray

Mometasone furoate nasal spray is an intranasal glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory properties. It produces potent anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the release of cytokines and chemokines and can improve symptoms of vasomotor rhinitis such as frequent sneezing, profuse watery nasal discharge, and significant mucosal edema.

If any of the above medications need to be used, it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid unnecessary physical harm. During treatment, it is important to maintain a regular and light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as pepper, chili, and onion, which may interfere with recovery.
