The treatment will consist of taking two capsules of CVT-E002 (400mg)or placebo every morning, after breakfast, for a period of 12 weeks. The subjects will be given an assessment form to log specific symptoms on a daily basis if they get a cold.

Symptoms include sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, hoarseness, cough, earaches, and fever. Subjects will be required to maintain the same dosing even during an upper respiratory infection and will be requested not to take any additional medication for their upper respiratory infection unless prescribed by their family physicians.
