1) 9 to 11 years old children between 25 and 50 kg of weight, both inclusive, at the time of inclusion in the study.
2) Patients must have a documented clinical history (of at least 6 months) of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR) and/or urticaria, and they must present mild to moderate clinical symptoms at the time of their inclusion in the study.
3) Patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis must have documented in their clinical history a positive skin reaction/RAST test within the year prior to their inclusion in the study: a positive prick-test (wheal diameter of at least 3 mm) or specific IgE > 0,70 KUA/L, at least against one allergen.
4) Patients must have a clinical history of positive response to treatment with antihistamines.
5) Patients should not have any sign in their clinical history of significant abnormalities in previous analytical determinations (such as blood count, biochemistry). If there were anomalies, it should be verified and documented with the performance of the corresponding analytical determination that the patient has normalised his/her situation (and presents values within the range of normality) before his/her inclusion in the study.
6) Patients must have a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) documented within the limits of normality. If they did not have it, the patient should undergo a 12-lead ECG that meets criteria of clinical normality before being included in the study.
7) A written consent of the parents/legal guardians of the children must be obtained so that they can participate in the study. Children must be informed about the study according to their abilities.

• Scheduled immunotherapy will be maintained on a regular basis during the study, but it will not be allowed from 48 hours prior to 48 hours after the first dose of the study medication.
5) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), pathologies of the spectrum of autism or sleep disorders, diagnosed in the 6 months prior to the inclusion of the patient in the study.
6) Any relevant clinical condition (or history) of renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, hematological, endocrine or neurological disease, which prevents the child from being able to participate in the study or that may interfere with the objectives thereof, according to researcher´s opinion.
7) Abnormalities in the laboratory parameters (including alterations in the ECG) that are clinically relevant, or that indicate disease, at the investigator´s discretion.
8) Children or parents unable to comply with the requirements of the study (attendance to the visits), unable to adequately take the study treatment, or children who should travel to another geographical area during the study.
9) Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to the intake of the first dose of the study medication.
10) Girls with menarche.
11) Any other characteristic of the participant or of his/her environment that, in the investigator´s opinion, makes him/her inappropriate to participate in the study (for example, the detection or suspicion of drug or other substances abuse; if participation in the study could harm the health of the participant, etc.)
