Desloratadine, an H1 receptor antagonist, is suggested as an effective first-line drug for chronic urticarial (CU). However, the efficacy of desloratadine alone is limited, and the recurrence rate of CU is relatively high. We sought to evaluate the efficacy and clinical feasibility of desloratadine in combination with compound glycyrrhizin in the treatment of CU. A systematic literature search was conducted in the databases of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, VIP, WanFang, PubMed, and Web of Science using subject terms: “Chronic urticaria”, “Loratadine”, and “Compound glycyrrhizin”. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the efficiency and safety of the combination treatment with desloratadine alone starting from January 1, 2014 until February 10, 2021 were selected by two co-first authors independently, and the extracted data were analysed using Rev Man 5.3 software. Fourteen RCTs were included in our meta-analysis with a total of 1501 patients. The results showed that the combination treatment yielded a better treatment effect (total response rate: RR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.29, p < 0.00001; cure rate: RR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.30 to 1.73, p < 0.00001), lower recurrence rate as well as superior immune improvement than the treatment with desloratadine alone. In addition, there was no significant difference in the safety of the two treatments. The combination of desloratadine and compound glycyrrhizin is a promising treatment for CU and is associated with decreased serum IgE level and improved proportions of CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells.
