Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy of treatment in persistent allergic rhinitis based on nasal symptoms score
The mean variability of nasal symptoms score observed between visit 1 and visit 2 will be used as the primary endpoint of clinical efficacy.
7 days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Safety will be evaluated by the adverse events occurrences
7 days
