Brief Summary  

Acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis are common respiratory diseases for which seek medical care. Their main clinical manifestation is sore throat which interferes with patients’ quality of life.

Numerous drugs as well as traditional remedies are offered to the patient suffering from pharyngitis and tonsilitis, but all deliver little more than symptomatic relief. Antibiotics are prescribed to limit secondary bacterial infections, and last resort measures for severe infections include intracellular virus inhibitors, but those are not very effective to regularly treat throat infections. The frequent use of antibiotics may lead to resistant of it and it may not be as effective as it should be. The subsequent development of bacterial resistance e.g., increasing van-comycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).The investigational product is believed to have a very fast action to the oral infection (viral, bacterial, fungal origin) and less frequent requirement of antibiotic treatment. The spray dosage form of PVPI-0.45% w/v may help to kill the bacterial, viral or fungal infection of the oral cavity in a very fast way because medicinal compounds are directly approaching to the affected area without or less systemic absorption
