Sustained alleviation of all targeted signs and symptoms was considered to have occurred on the first of 4 consecutive days during which all targeted symptoms that had been scored as moderate or severe at trial entry were scored as mild or absent and all symptoms that had been scored as mild or absent at trial entry were scored as absent. The targeted symptoms were cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, feeling feverish, chills or shivering, muscle or body aches, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, sore throat, and stuffy or runny nose.
