After confirming the inclusion/exclusion criteria thesubject will be randomized and provided with study medication at randomizationvisit. Subjects will be provided with patient diary at randomization visit,which need to be brought along with in each subsequent visit till the lastvisit. Follow up visits will be done on day 30(±3), day 60(±3) and day 90(±3) (finalvisit) of treatment to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability.
