Detailed Description

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

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, superiority, placebo control clinical trial.

Adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) of both sexes with common cold or flu will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive the experimental drug (paracetamol 500mg / fexofenadine 60mg / phenylephrine 20mg) or placebo, in the dosage of one (01) film-coated tablet every eight (08) hours, for 3 to 7 days.

The primary superiority assessment will be carry out compared the experimental drug to placebo in the relief of cold and flu symptoms through the absolute variation of the overall score obtained in the symptom assessment questionnaire after treatment start.

PARALLEL

Adult participants (aged ≥ 18 years) of both sexes with common cold or flu will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive the experimental drug (paracetamol 500 mg / fexofenadine 60 mg / phenylephrine 20 mg) or placebo, in the dosage of one (01) film-coated tablet every eight (08) hours, for 3 to 7 days.

Randomized participants will be instructed to use the study treatment uninterruptedly, every eight (08) hours, for three (03) days, and may, after that, discontinue treatment at any time if they experience no more symptoms.
