Mechanism of action

Placebos are inert substances used as controls in clinical trials to establish the true efficacy of an active drug by comparison. Any observed effects in placebo groups are attributed to the placebo effect (psychological and contextual factors) rather than direct pharmacological action. In this case, it is a placebo formulation matching the appearance of oseltamivir (an antiviral) but containing no active drug.
