The presented exploratory study was designed to determine the magnitude of any effect of Iota-Carrageenan nasal spray on the severity of common cold symptoms relative to placebo treatment. The current study was designed as a single centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled comparative survey in subjects with early symptoms of common cold to assess the efficacy of a 0.12% Iota-Carrageenan nasal spray in the early treatment of natural colds. The results of this study indicate that the Iota Carrageenan nasal spray is a safe and effective treatment when taken within 48 hours of development of common cold symptoms. ./cache/cord-324981-teywszlm.txt ./txt/cord-324981-teywszlm.txt
