Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Antibiotic Sparing [ Time Frame: Day 7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of patients who received an antibiotic

  • Change From Baseline in Total Symptom Score of the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey - 21 (WURSS-21). [ Time Frame: Baseline and 7 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    WURSS-21 is made up of 21 questions with a scoring from 0 = no symptom to 7 = severe symptom. With a minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 147.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients aged 18 to 75 yrs of age presenting at a clinical site with symptoms diagnostic for an acute upper respiratory tract infection within the last 5 days

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients who had chronic, recurring respiratory signs and symptoms due to conditions such as chronic allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis or chronic bronchitis which in the investigator's opinion, confounded interpretation of symptom ratings for the acute upper respiratory infection. Also excluded were patients with a fever greater than 101 degrees F.
