SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 0-48 hours for each of the 4 dosing cycles with a washout period of 3 weeks between each dosing cycle

Determination of time at which plasma concentration is highest. Blood samples collected at 0 (baseline), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hour after dosing. All time points were used to determine Tmax, time at highest plasma concentration.
