pharmacokinetics of two formulations of entecavir

Conditions: Hepatitis B

Summary: a randomized, parallel, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a test formulation of entigin film coated tablet 0.5mg (entecavir 0.5 mg), compared to an equivalent dose of a reference drug product (baraclude 0.5mg tablets) in healthy
