The purpose of the study is to evaluate the local tolerability and the systemic availability of benzydamine, if any, after single and multiple dose treatment with the test formulation containing cetylpyridinium chloride 0.05% + benzydamine hydrochloride 0.15% + mucoadhesive polymer and with the reference formulation Tantum Verde Bocca containing cetylpyridinium chloride 0.05% + benzydamine hydrochloride 0.15% to healthy subjects , under fasting conditions, in two consecutive study periods.

Change in Local Adverse Reactions (ADRs)
Local ADRs reported by the subjects through a 4-point scale according to a local tolerability scale (degree of severity of reactions from 0 to 3. 0=none; 1=mild 2= moderate; 3= severe) as 0-3 scores for burning sensation, irritation, pruritus, dry mouth, salivary hypersecretion and dysphagia. If the score assigned will be 1, 2 or 3, the local AE will classified as a TEAE of mild, moderate or severe severity, respectively.
Time frame: Change before and after each administration up to Day 8
Systemic availability of benzydamine (free base) through Cmax.
Systemic availability of benzydamine (free base) by measurement of plasma concentrations.
Time frame: Day 1: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 h after the first dose. Days 7-8: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 h after the last dose.
Systemic availability of benzydamine (free base) through AUC(0-t).
Systemic availability of benzydamine (free base) by measurement of area under the plasma concentration-time curve \[AUC(0-t)\].
Time frame: Day 1: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 h after the first dose. Days 7-8: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 h after the last dose.
Incidence of AEs
General tolerability and safety of the study products assessed through monitoring of AEs including clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory assays (haematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis).
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of three weeks
Palatability
Organoleptic properties of the study products evaluated through a ORGANOLEPTIC AND EASE OF USE CHARACTERISTICS questionnaire.
Time frame: Day 7 (after the last dose of each study period).
