| Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of the present trial is to investigate the safety of both preparations on the basis of safety clinical and laboratory examinations (at the beginning and at the end of the trial) and registration of adverse events and/or adverse drug reactions.;Main Objective: The main objective in the present trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of a nasal preparation containing silver protein diacetyl tannate (SEAT) as 3% solution under double blind, placebo controlled conditions in patients with acute uncomplicated, viral rhinitis.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint in the present trial is the improvement from baseline of the viral rhinitis symptom score for the duration of 7 days of treatment. The improvement will be measured by the area under the symptom-score time curves over the 7 days of treatment (AUC) corrected for the baseline symptom score. The AUC will be calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule. This endpoint undergoes descriptive and comparative statistical evaluation. | — |
