Abstract

The growth of allergic morbidity, as well as certain limitations in traditional therapy, sets the task of finding new means and methods of treating this pathology. Antihistamines and leukotriene receptor blockers traditionally belong to drugs that affect the symptoms of inflammation and control the course of diseases of allergic genesis. Substances of natural origin, whose effectiveness and safety have been proven for centuries, have similar properties.
The article analyzes the data of the available scientific literature concerning the experience of using macromycetes of the genus Ganoderma in clinical practice. Our clinical study showed that the inclusion of the drug "Astmagan", based on Ganoderma lucidum, in the complex therapy of seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis, increased the effectiveness of treatment. The authors consider that this will allow a more differentiated approach to the choice of the optimal scheme of complex therapy for allergic rhinitis.

Keywords
