  23. Significant unstable or uncontrolled medical condition that may interfere with a subject's participation in the study.

  24. Other severe, acute or chronic, medical or psychiatric condition(s) or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or IP administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Within three days for nonserious adverse events, +30 days after the participant's last dose or exposure to the investigational product for serious adverse events.
Adverse Event Reporting Description AEs were systematically collected during the study and at the follow-up visit at Day 2 (+/-1 day). Spontaneously reported AEs collected during the study were also recorded. Any clinically important abnormalities or causally-related AEs persisting were followed until resolution or until reaching a clinically stable endpoint.
Arm/Group Title Placebo PE-IR PE-ER
Arm/Group Description One Placebo Extended-Release Tablet + One Placebo Immediate-Release Capsule Taken Orally Four Times Daily. One Phenylephrine HCl Immediate-Release Capsule + One Placebo Extended-Release Tablet Taken Orally Four Times Daily.
