Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Flu care polyherbal formulation in the management of acute uncomplicated case of Influenza within 48 hours of symptoms onset.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
