Rhinitis is a common complaint of patients attending the pharmacy. It is necessary to approach to the treatment responsibly, taking into
account the patient's history, and then to prescribe a medication or refer the patient to a secondary care physician – an ENT specialist
or an allergist. The common infectious viral rhinitis can be treated by a pharmacist or pharmaceutical assistant directly in the particular
patient. A wide range of topical agents (nasal drops, sprays, ointments) or systemically administered medicinal products, mostly fixed
combinations with antipyretics or antitussives, are available.
