Looking for opinion on meds
Question:
Has anyone tried using chromolyn sodium nasal spray or a leukotriene receptor antagonist such as Accolate or Singulair to control inflammatory symptoms from chronic sinusitis? Any improvement? These meds are mostly used to control chronic asthma symptoms but may produce a beneficial effect on the sinus mucosa. I would also appreciate an opinion from the contributing MD’s as to their observations and conclusions from results obtained in their practice. Regards, Michael M

Tried accolate for rhinitis/sinusitis some time ago. Was a last ditch effort. No response whatsoever. — Walter Dum vivimus, vivamus! (Horace) The Happy Iconoclast: www.rationality.net E-mail responses: Delete x in return address —- "Michael Muloin" <mmul…@home.com

Nasalcrom is helpful with allergies. Leukotrienes may be helpful, but are still being evaluated. Sincerely, Wellington S. Tichenor, M.
