Article Synopsis
- Treatment with second-generation antihistamines is effective for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients, but many require higher doses for better results, with 78% experiencing up-dosing and 23% responding favorably.
- A majority of patients (80%) with wheals or wheals and angioedema needed higher doses, and those who didn't respond to fourfold doses had some success with even higher dosages.
- Side effects were reported by 20% of patients with a minimal increase for those on extremely high doses, suggesting that higher dosages may be a viable treatment option to reduce reliance on more complex therapies.
