Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to assess bioequivalence between two paracetamol/ phenylephrine combination products.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will be a single dose, randomized, two-way crossover study in 40 healthy subjects, with equal numbers of males and females. Drop-outs will not be replaced. The two doses of medication given in the study (a single dose in each of the two study periods) will be separated by a washout period of at least 7 days. In each study period, sixteen blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken over 24 hours. Blood samples will be centrifuged and concentrations of paracetamol and phenylephrine in plasma will be measured using a validated chromatographic assay. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated from plasma concentration data. The rate and extent of absorption of the formulations will be compared.
