Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the results of treatment of chronic urticaria with desloratadine combined montelukast. Subject and method: Clinical intervention study, randomized controlled on 92 patients diagnosed with chronic urticaria at the 108 Military Central Hospital from October 2021 to October 2023. Patients were randomly assigned according to the odd-even rule into 2 treatment groups: Researchers group (desloratadine 10mg-montelukast 10mg) and opposite group (desloratadine 10mg). Compare treatment effectiveness in terms of itching severity, itching frequency, number of papules, USA7 score, TSS, Cu-QoL and side effects at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after starting treatment. Result: The 2 regimens were effective in all evaluation criteria at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after starting treatment. The number of papules in researchers group decreased more than in opposite group (p<0.05). However, the criteria of itching level, papule size, disease frequency, TSS score, USA7 and Cu-QoL had no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups at the time of the study. No significant side effects were noted in the 2 treatment groups. Conclusion: Montelukast-desloratadine is a more effective regimen and has a tolerability level equivalent to a standard antihistamine regimen
