Brief Summary

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

The present study has been designed to compare flurbiprofen pharmacokinetic profile after administration of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenges, marketed by ACRAF, S.p.A., Italy (test product), and the marketed Strepfen 8.75 mg honey and lemon lozenges reference product. (Reckitt Benckiser Portugal SA).

Detailed Description

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

This is a single dose, open-label, randomised, 2-way cross-over bioequivalence study aimed to compare the bioavailability and the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of flurbiprofen after single dose administration of test and reference formulations.
