Jitka Poláková
Ústav imunologie a alergologie, Fakultní nemocnice Plzeň

Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa that significantly affects patients' quality of life and represents a risk factor for the development of asthma. The pharmacy is often the patient's first point of contact with the healthcare system, placing the pharmacist in a key role in the early identification of the disease, recommending appropriate self-medication, and recognizing situations requiring medical evaluation. This article summarizes current recommendations for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, focusing on a rational stepwise approach to self-medication in the pharmacy, and provides practical guidelines for pharmaceutical practice.

Keywords: seasonal allergic rhinitis, self-medication, antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids.
