This study was performed to assess the rate of compliance to the use of intranasal steroid and determine the reasons for noncompliance in 65 people with allergic rhinitis.
Identification
of risk factors for noncompliance to intranasal steroid can aid medical care
providers to address difficulties faced by allergic rhinitis patients. This
boosts compliance and allows better management of rhinitis symptoms.
This
study was performed to assess the rate of compliance to the use of intranasal
steroid and determine the reasons for noncompliance in 65 people with allergic
rhinitis.
In this
prospective cross-sectional study, the enrolled subjects were given a
questionnaire for collecting data about symptoms, intranasal steroid usage, and
concerns they may have. Utilizing Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS), statistical analysis was performed.
As found, the overall compliance rate to intranasal steroid was about 63.1%. Noncompliance was linked with the raised frequency of dosing, presence of sensory attributes, and forgetfulness. Immediate taste (20.0%), throat rundown (29.2%), and aftertaste (21.5%) were the top three most frequent sensory attributes witnessed by participants.
A
considerable difference was noted between brands of intranasal steroid
regarding sensory attributes experienced. No substantial differences were noted
in side effects.
For better
supervision of allergic rhinitis symptoms, risk factors for noncompliance to
intranasal steroids should be identified.
