Assessing Outcomes From the Sleep Disturbance Associated With Rhinitis.

Performance Testing

Although poor control of allergic rhinitis symptoms can lead to sedation, nonprescription and prescription medications used to treat symptoms can cause drowsiness and impair performance in everyday tasks. Some H1-antihistamine receptor antagonists are documented to cause drowsiness and decreased mental performance. Participants treated with placebo and fexofenadine demonstrated similar driving abilities in the Iowa Driving Simulator. Coherence was significantly better after taking fexofenadine and even alcohol as compared with diphenhydramine.[64,65]  Printer- Friendly Email This
