Participant Flow

This was a single-dose, randomized, balanced, open-label, two-sequence, two-treatment, two-period, crossover bioequivalence study of Paroxetine tablets 20 milligrams (mg) of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Pharmaceuticals S.A, with that of PAXIL (Paroxetine) tablets 20 mg of GSK México S.A. de C.V., in healthy adult male \& female participants under fasting conditions.

Total 38 participants were enrolled in the study across one study center in Mexico.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence that may occur in a research participant during clinical research phase of a drug or vaccine but which does not necessarily has a causal relationship with this. SAE is defined as any medical occurrence that, at any dose, put participants's life in risk or results in death, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and other important medical events according to medical or scientific judgement.
