Resumen

El propósito de este trabajo fue revisar la literatura científica que evalúa la eficacia y seguridad de las monoterapias de fexofenadina y montelukast, la terapia combinada (fija o en asociación) de montelukast - fexofenadina, así como de montelukast con otros antihistamínicos de segunda generación en el tratamiento de la rinitis alérgica. Se realizó una estrategia de búsqueda bibliográfica de múltiples etapas, en donde se identificaron estudios basados en ensayos clínicos y estudios no aleatorizados (ensayo controlado no aleatorizado, controlado antes-después, de series de tiempo interrumpidas, con controles históricos, de cohorte, de casos y controles, estudio transversal, y series de casos) en pacientes con rinitis alérgica, en las bases de datos MEDLINE/ PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Biblioteca Cochrane, Redalyc y Colección BVS y debido a la cantidad de resultados obtenidos se incluyó la búsqueda en Hinari. Con base en esta revisión se concluye que las combinaciones de antihistamínicos de segunda generación y antagonistas de leucotrienos y, en particular, la combinación fija de fexofenadina – montelukast es eficaz, segura y favorece la adherencia al tratamiento, y a largo plazo también ayuda a alcanzar el objetivo terapéutico.

Palabras clave

Rinitis alérgica estacional, rinitis alérgica perenne, antagonistas de los receptores histamínicos, eficacia, seguridad.

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to review the scientific literature that evaluates the efficacy and safety of monotherapies of fexofenadine and montelukast, the combined therapy (fixed-dose or separate drug combinations) of montelukast-fexofenadine, as well as the use of montelukast together with other second-generation antihistamines in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. A multistage literature search strategy was designed, including clinical trials and non-randomized studies (non-randomized controlled trial, controlled before-after study, interrupted time series study, historical control study, cohort study, case-control study, crosssectional study, and case series) evaluating patients with allergic rhinitis. The databases MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Redalyc, BVS Collection, and, due to the number of results obtained, Hinari were included. Based on this review, the conclusion is that the combinations of secondgeneration antihistamines with leukotriene antagonists and, in particular, the fixed combination of fexofenadine-montelukast are effective, safe and promote treatment adherence. In the long term, they also help achieve therapeutic goals.

Keywords
