Full description

This is a randomized double-blinded placebo controlled trial to assess the efficacy of treatment with montelukast 10 mg PO QD x 5 days versus placebo for the treatment of viral-induced upper respiratory infection in healthy adults aged 18-50 years. All subjects complete daily assessments of cold symptoms, nasal clearance rates and secretion rates during each day of the study. Phlebotomy is performed once for the determination of cytokine genotyping and allergy skin testing is performed once for the assessment of atopy.
