Read the detailed description

Eligible patients must sign the informed consent form and they will be between 18 and 60 years old and common cold symptoms for no more than 72 hours.

It will be recruited for this study 366 patients, 183 patients per group. It is estimated that the total number of patients can be recruited in 4 to 6 months from the regulatory approval of the study.

    Measured: From 1 to 3 days after the last dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Likert Scale for symptons

    It will be used a Likert Scale to evaluate the intensity of cold symptoms. It will be used at screening, between 3-5 days of randomization and between 1 to 3 days after the last dose.

    Measured: From the screening until 1 to 3 days after the last dose

  2. Sleep Questionnaire

    It will be used a Sleep questionnaire to evaluate the sleep quality. It will be used at screening, between 3-5 days of randomization and between 1 to 3 days after the last dose.

    Measured: From the screening until 1 to 3 days after the last dose

  3. Daily Activities

    It will be used a daily activities questionnaire to evaluate the physical and mental disposition on the routine daily activities. It will be used at screening, between 3-5 days of randomization and between 1 to 3 days after the last dose.

    Measured: From the screening until 1 to 3 days after the last dose

  4. Adverse Events

    It will be evaluated and monitored the adverse events in order to assess the patient safety. It will be evaluated from randomization up to 1-3 days after last dose.

    Measured: From the randomization until 1 to 3 days after the last dose
