Mean change from baseline in total symptom severity complex (TSSC) scores in patients with SAR1 

Chart 1

†Based on main effects models for intent-to-treat population. Week 2 was designated as the primary endpoint. Endpoint = last post-baseline observation. ‡P < 0.01; §P < 0.001.

The TSSC score includes: 

  • Sneezing 

  • Runny nose 

  • Itchy nose 

  • Itchy eyes 

  • Watery eyes 

  • Post-nasal drip 

Change from baseline to Week 2 in individual SAR symptoms   

REACTINE® provided symptom relief from watery eyes as well as relief of sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose vs placebo1 

  • Multicenter study included 403 patients with SAR, symptoms based on a 4-point scale (0=none to 3=severe) 

  • Significant differences were observed for each individual symptom compromising the TSSC with the exception of nasal congestion at Week 2 

  • Mean change from baseline (with the exception of nasal congestion) to Week 2 showed significantly greater improvement in patients treated with REACTINE® compared with patients treated with placebo (P≦0.01).
