Detailed Description
this study is a double blind randomized controlled trial study.
the volunteers will be divided into 2 groups. One is received Prapchompoothaweep crude drug capsule at 1,000 mg 3 times a day before meals and the other is received Loratadine 10 mg per day before meals. it takes 6 weeks to complete the project for each volunteers.
Before enrolling, volunteers will stop using any anti-histamine drug for 1 week (wash-out period). All volunteers will be followed up in the 3rd and 6th week to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect after received drugs.
The researcher will record characteristic data such as gender, age, BMI, vital signs and symptoms . The adverse effect will be monitored by hematology test e.g. liver function test, renal function test, lipid profile and blood sugar test.

Using an Acoustic Rhinometry to evaluate nasal symptoms
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of well-being of volunteer that change from baseline at 6 weeks. [week-0, week-3 and week-6]
Using Rhinoconjunctivitis Questionnaire of Life (Thai Version copyright by Chaweewan Bunnag MD) This questionnaire is designed to find out how your health and well-being have been affected by rhinoconjunctivitis. score including 1-5 score; 1 = not at all, 2 = Slightly, 3 = moderately, 4 = A lot and 5 = Extremely.

- Renal Function Change from baseline at 6 weeks. [week-0, week-3 and week-6]
to evaluate the adverse events by hematology test of renal function which including BUN (mg/dL) and Creatinine (mg/dL). Normal range of BUN and Creatinine are 7.0-18.0 mg/dL and 0.67-1.17 mg/dL respectively.
- Liver Function Change from baseline at 6 weeks. [week-0, week-3 and week-6]
to evaluate the adverse events by hematology test of liver function which including AST (U/L), ALT (U/L), Total Alkaline Phosphatase (U/L), total bilirubin (mg/dl), direct-bilirubin (mg/dl), Globulin (g/dl), Albumin (g/dl) and Total protein (g/dl). Normal range of AST, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase, total bilirubin, direct-bilirubin, globulin, albumin and total protein are 16-37 U/L, 16-63 U/L, 46-116 U/L, 0.2-1.0 mg/dl, 0.0-0.2 mg/dl, 1.5-3.5 g/dl, 3.4-5.0 g/dl and 6.4-8.2 g/dl respectively.
