Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Adverse Events Reported By Category After 14 Days of Treatment

    Safety was assessed by determining the incidence of all Adverse Events (AE) which occurred between Baseline Visit (Day 1) \& Final Visit (Day 15) \& were recorded in Case Report Forms. Total number of AEs reported were presented in several categories. Classification, causality \& intensity for AEs were determined by investigator after obtaining sufficient information. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was any adverse drug experience that resulted in: death; life-threatening condition; inpatient hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity.

    15 Days

  • Safety of Desloratadine Syrup Reported by Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events After 14 Days of Treatment

    Safety was assessed by determining the incidence of all AEs which occurred between Baseline Visit (Day 1) \& Final Visit (Day 15) \& were recorded in Case Report Forms. Number of participants experiencing AEs were presented in several categories. Some AEs lead to discontinuation (d/c). Classification, causality \& intensity for AEs were determined by investigator. A SAE was any adverse drug experience that resulted in any of the following: death; life-threatening condition; inpatient hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity.

    15 Days

  • Participant Global Tolerability Assessment

    The participant's global assessment of tolerability with the medication was assessed using a categorical scale as follows: * Excellent * Very Good * Good * Fair * poor Parent or guardian of each participant followed up for a final visit after 14 days (Day 15) at which tolerability was rated and reported for entire treatment period. Number of participants in each category is presented.
