  1. * SP = Score points; ED = Eye Drops; NS = Nasal Spray.
  2. ** It would be 2 SP for use of Levocabastine NS alone, but in combination with the scores for Mometasone and Loratadine the maximum of 12 SP for nose is reached.
  3. *** It would be 7 SP for use of Loratadine alone, but in combination with the Mometasone score the maximum of 12 SP for nose is reached.
