Background: Intranasal glucocorticosteroids are effective in seasonal allergic rhinitis. This study compared the efficacy of budesonide (Rhinocort ®Turbuhaler®) and fluticasone propionate (Flixonase®) in this respect. Methods: Patients ( n = 280) were randomized to receive budesonide, 140 µg (delivered dose) once daily, fluticasone, 200 µg once daily, or matching placebos for 5 weeks. The primary efficacy variable was the change in combined nasal symptom (nasal blockage, runny nose, sneezing) scores. Quality of life was measured in 121 patients by means of the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) and the Short‐form Health Survey (SF‐36). Results: Both steroids significantly reduced combined nasal symptoms, compared with placebo. There was no significant difference between the two treatments. Substantial or total symptom control was achieved in 89.9% of the budesonide‐treated patients, compared with 88.7% with fluticasone and 42.7% with placebo. Four of the five domains of the RQLQ were significantly improved with budesonide, whereas with fluticasone only two domains were improved. Budesonide significantly improved scores in five out of eight domains of the SF‐36, whereas no domains were improved with fluticasone. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in efficacy between budesonide and fluticasone in this study. However, greater improvements in quality of life were seen with budesonide than with fluticasone. |
