Brief Summary

To characterize the pharmacokinetics of phenylephrine in two pediatric populations: children, ages 2 to <12 years, and adolescents, ages 12 to <18 years.

Detailed Description

This study has an open-label, single-dose classical pharmacokinetic design with no comparator treatment or group. At least twenty-four (24) children, ages 2 to <12 years, and twelve (12) adolescents, ages 12 to <18 years, with nasal symptoms due to hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies will complete the study. To ensure that younger children are represented, at least 35% (8) of the 24 children enrolled will range from 2 to <6 years of age.

• Subjects and parents or legally authorized representatives who, in the investigator's view, are likely to be compliant and complete the study will be eligible to participate.
• Post menarchal female subjects must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and at Visit 2 on Day 1 before study medication is administered.
• Post menarchal female subjects must have practiced abstinence or use an effective form of birth control (e.g., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, contraceptive implants or injections, diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap, or consort use of condom) for at least three months before being enrolled in the study.
• Parents or legally authorized representatives have signed and dated an IRB-approved consent form for the subject to participate in the study indicating that the subject (and/or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
• Subjects, ages 6 to < 18 years, who have provided written assent to participate in the study
