ABSTRACT. Objective. Allergic rhinitis is common and on the rise. Antihistamines are the mainstay of treatment and are the most commonly prescribed drugs in Singapore. Treatment-related sedation and its effect on cognition are a major concern. First-and second-generation antihistamines show varying degrees of sedation, but to date, objective studies in children are lacking. The objective of this study was to assess the sedating effect of cetirizine (second-generation antihistamine) and chlorpheniramine (first-generation antihistamine) compared with placebo using an objective neurophysiological test.Methods. This was a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, single-dose, 3-way crossover study. Twenty-four children aged 7 to 14 years with allergic rhinitis completed the study. All children were randomly allocated to medication sequences and received 3 different drugs on 3 different days, at least 1 week apart. The P300 event-related potential was used as an objective test of sedation. Subjective assessment was by a visual analog scale.Results. Chlorpheniramine and cetirizine increased P300 latency when compared with baseline. No significant increase was obtained with placebo. The significant increase in P300 latency was not accompanied by significant change in subjective somnolence as measured by the visual analog scale.Conclusion. We have shown that cetirizine has sedative properties in children. The lack of correlation between P300 latency and the visual analog scale indicates that sedation induced by these drugs may not be subjectively noted. Pediatrics 2004;113:e116 -e121.

A 1994 survey showed the prevalence of rhinitis in Singapore children to be at a staggering 44%. 1 In children with allergic rhinitis, inadequate symptom control may contribute to learning impairment; school absences; poor quality of life; and emotional, social, or behavioral disturbances. 2 Oral antihistamines are the mainstay of therapy for allergic rhinitis in children 3 and have been used effectively for managing symptoms of allergic rhinitis for Ͼ50 years. They are the most commonly prescribed drugs among outpatient doctors in the public service in Singapore. 4 The major limitation of the use of first-generation antihistamines is sedation. 3 Being lipophilic molecules, they easily cross the blood-brain barrier and may exacerbate the decrease in cognitive function already experienced by the patient with allergic rhinitis. Sedating antihistamines have been shown to reduce learning performance in children. 5 In contrast, second-generation antihistamines are relatively lipophobic and therefore cross the blood-br...

Although nasal allergy has been prominent in allergy research, ocular allergy is increasingly recognized as a distinct symptom complex that imposes its own disease burden and reduction in patients' quality of life. In the past year, knowledge of the relationships between allergic conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis has increased. Allergic conjunctivitis is highly prevalent and has a close epidemiologic relationship with allergic rhinitis. Both conditions also exhibit similar pathophysiologic mechanisms. Pathways of communication are thought to increase the likelihood of an inflammatory reaction at both sites following allergen exposure of nasal or ocular tissue. Clinical trials of intranasal therapies have demonstrated efficacy in allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis. Newer intranasal steroids decrease ocular symptoms, potentially achieving efficacy by suppressing the naso-ocular reflex, downregulation of inflammatory cell expression, or restoration of nasolacrimal duct patency. Proposed pathophysiologic interactions between allergic rhinitis and ocular allergy underscore the need for therapies with efficacy in both symptom sets.
