Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

People with allergies frequently complain of a loss or reduction in the sense of smell.

In this study, the investigators propose to perform a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled parallel study of subjects with nasal allergies and decreased smell to determine the effect of a treatment for allergies on the sense of smell.
