April 17, 2013 updated by: Novartis

A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Single-dose Study of the Efficacy of Lidocaine 8 mg + Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC) 2 mg Fixed Combination Lozenges on Sore Throat Pain Intensity Compared to Lozenges Containing Lidocaine 1 mg and CPC 2 mg in Subjects With Sore Throat Due to Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.

This study will compare the efficacy and safety of a single dose of a lidocaine 8 mg + cetylpyridimium chloride (CPC) 2 mg lozenge with a single dose of a lidocaine 1 mg + CPC 2 mg lozenge in the treatment of sore throat due to a common cold.
