  • Subject with malignant disease, autoimmune disease
  • Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or of child-bearing potential and not protected from pregnancy by a sufficiently reliable method (OCs, IUD, ...)
  • Any chronic disease, which may impair the subject's ability to participate in the trial (i.e. severe congestive heart failure, active gastric ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, etc…)
  • Subjects requiring beta-blockers medication
  • Chronic use of concomitant medications that would affect assessment of the effectiveness of the trial medication (e.g. tricyclic antidepressants)
  • Subject with febrile illness (> 37.5°C, oral)
  • A known positive serology for HIV-1/2, HBV or HCV

  • Use of long-acting antihistamines
  • Any condition which could be incompatible with protocol understanding and compliance
  • Subjects who have forfeited their freedom by administrative or legal award or who are under guardianship
  • Unreliable subjects including non-compliant subjects, subjects with known alcoholism or drug abuse or with a history of a serious psychiatric disorder as well as subjects unwilling to give informed consent or to abide by the requirements of the protocol
  • Participation in another clinical trial and/or treatment with an experimental drug within the last 2 years
  • A history of hypersensitivity to the excipients
  • Rhinitis medicamentosa, non-specific rhinitis (to food dye, preservative agent…)
