Allergic rhinitis has been identified as a major respiratory disease that places a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system. Nevertheless, the management of allergic rhinitis is challenging for both patients and practitioners. Pharmacists have been recognised as strategic in providing advice for allergic avoidance, disease information, and pharmacological care for allergic rhinitis management. This role has been underutilised in the public health service sector in Malaysia due to variation in practice, regulation, and health system structures when compared to the international guidelines. This article proposed a PhaRmacISt-led Education Model (AR-PRISE) that includes explicit patient education materials and an algorithm for structured counselling by pharmacists in the management of patients with allergic rhinitis.
变应性鼻炎已被确认为一种主要的呼吸系统疾病，给患者和医疗保健系统带来了沉重负担。然而，变应性鼻炎的管理对患者和从业者来说都具有挑战性。药剂师在提供变应性避免建议、疾病信息以及变应性鼻炎管理的药物治疗方面具有重要作用。与国际指南相比，由于实践、法规和卫生系统结构的差异，这一角色在马来西亚的公共卫生服务部门未得到充分利用。本文提出了一种由药剂师主导的教育模式（AR-PRISE），该模式包括明确的患者教育材料以及药剂师在变应性鼻炎患者管理中进行结构化咨询的算法。
