Abstract

This consensus report is the result of a panel discussion during the International Clinically Oriented ESDR Symposium Urticaria 2000. Urticaria has a profound impact on the quality of life and effective treatment is required. The most important are nonsedating H1 antihistamines. They have been proven to be effective in double-blind controlled studies, but concentrations higher than those recommended may be necessary. Due to different urticaria subtypes and the individual variation in the course of the disease and response to treatment, however, alternative therapies may be required. Immunosuppressive drugs like cyclosporine A and corticosteroids should not be used long term due to undesirable side-effects.
