Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Arm 1: The solution ready-to-use contains quinosol 1 mg/ml and tyrothricin 0,1 mg/ml. It is necessary to rinse 20 ml of the solution in the mouth for 60 seconds just a single time.
Arm 2: The tablet contains quinosol 0,7 mg/tablet, tyrothricin 1,0 mg/tablet and benzocaine 5,0 mg/tablet. It is necessary to dissolve one tablet in the mouth just a single time.
Arm 3: The spray contains quinosol 2,0 mg/ml, tyrothricin 0,1 mg/ml and lidocaine chloride 4,0 mg/ml. It is necessary to perform 3 spray applications in the mouth in a single time.
Each pharmaceutical form was compared to its respective placebo.
No strategies were used to monitor adherence to the treatment because the intervention is realized in just one visit followed by sub-investigator/investigator.
Intervention code [1] 288537 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
The solution placebo is mainly composed of ethyl alcohol, glycerol, menthol and water. The tablet placebo is mainly composed of silicon dioxide. The spray placebo is mainly composed of ethyl alcohol, mint oil and sorbitol. All of these types are used in the same dose, duration, and mode of administration related to the respective interventions.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 291194 0
The primary outcome is the reduction of the level of microorganisms after rinsing with the tested products. Two oropharynx swabs are collected in the timepoints 0 - before the use of the medicine, and 30 minutes later. Sowings in the media are done and after counting of microorganisms, we obtain a relation between the beta-hemolytic bacteria and the total Estreptococcus from the material collected and we convert it to a UFC/cm2 number of the tonsilar area.
Timepoint [1] 291194 0
Two oropharynx swabs are collected in the timepoints 0 - before the use of the medicine, and 30 minutes later. The timepoint is one week after the swabs collection, when it's possible to determine the effect of the intervention due to the outcome of the microorganisms counting.
Secondary outcome [1] 306213 0
Improvement of the pharyngitis by clinical evaluation.
Timepoint [1] 306213 0
The timepoint is one week after the swabs collection.
