AR contributes to reduced productivity and significant morbidity worldwide.Areas covered: We review data emphasizing that the most effective therapy to alter the course of AR is allergen-specific immunotherapy, either subcutaneous or sublingual. However, significant advancements in developing alternative forms of therapies have opened the door for potential novel avenues of treating patients with AR. We discuss novel therapies currently under investigation or recently approved, which may provide a more effective and safer treatment option.Expert commentary: Novel therapies for this common disorder which causes significant impaired quality of life are under investigation and will hopefully lead to better therapeutic options.
