  • Title: Intranasal anticholinergic therapy of rhinorrhea.
    Author: Meltzer EO.
    Journal: J Allergy Clin Immunol; 1992 Dec; 90(6 Pt 2):1055-64. PubMed ID: 1460208.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews the role of anticholinergic therapy for the rhinorrhea that occurs in various rhinopathies, including irritant reactions, perennial nonallergic rhinitis, viral infection rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and temperature-induced rhinitis. The use of a topical anticholinergic medication, ipratropium bromide, and its ability to inhibit methacholine and rhinitis-induced hypersecretion is emphasized. Ipratropium bromide appears to be both safe and effective in reducing this troublesome symptom.
