Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Taking Greater Than (>) 1200 Milligram (mg) (>3 Caplets) on no More Than 2 Use Days During the Study
Day 1 up to 30 days

Percentage of participants whose behavior was either correct or acceptable were considered to be compliant. The behavior was considered correct if participants took more than 1200 mg (\>3 caplets) on either 0, 1 or 2 use days (where a use day was defined as a calendar day starting at 12:01 AM in which a participant received at least one dose of study medication), based on their diary. The behavior was considered acceptable if a participant exceeded the labelled daily dosing directions of taking more than 3 caplets per day, under the advice of a healthcare professional, based on information from the end of study follow-up interview.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Taking Greater Than (>) 400 mg (>1 Caplet) at a Time on no More Than 2 Dosing Occasions During the Study
