Treatment of Chronic Urticaria

Reading time: 1 min

Although there is no definitive cure for chronic urticaria, effective therapeutic options are available to control the symptoms in most cases.

Medicines, pills

Second-generation (non-sedating) H1 antihistamines. These are the first-line treatment. They can be used at up to four times the standard dose, always under medical supervision.

Immune system cell with antibodies

Omalizumab. This is a monoclonal antibody that targets Immunoglobulin E (anti-IgE), which is involved in allergic reactions. It is indicated as a third-line treatment for patients who do not respond to antihistamines at standard or high doses.

Blue, white and green pills

Other treatments. Other medications, such as cyclosporine A or Dupilumab, may be used in more resistant cases.
