Title: Observation on the Curative Effect of Long Descending Treatment on 31 Cases Chronic Urticaria With Fexofenadine Hydrochloride
Abstract: Objective To observe the curative effect of fexofenadine hydrochloride for chronic urticaria by long descending course of treatment and daily treatment method. Methods Sixty-one patients were randomly divided into two groups. Treatment group patients were prescribed with fexofenadine hydrochloride orally, 60mg 2~3 times daily for the first month, 30mg twice a day for the second month and 30mgs daily for the third month. The total course for treatment group was 3 months. Corotrol group patients were prescribed with oral fexofenadine hydrochloride 2~3 times daily for the course of one month only. These two groups of patients were evaluated every 2 weeks to observe the curative effect or any side effects during the course of treatment, followed by one-month follow-up visit. Results There was significant difference (P0.05) between two groups. The effective rate of the treatment group was 87.10% and recurrence rate was 29.03%, which was distinctively better than the control group (with the effective rate of 63.33% and recurrence rate of 56.67%). Conclusion The long descending treatment group has better curative effect and lower recurrence rate than the daily treatment group.
