bioequivalence study of sumatriptan succinate tablets 100 mg in fed conditions

Conditions: Healthy

Summary: the objective of this study was to compare the relative bioavailability of sumatriptan succinate tablets 100 mg with imitrex tablets 100 mg under fed conditions in healthy adult human subjects.

open label, randomized, two way crossover, comparative evaluation of relative bioavailability of two formulations of sumatriptan succinate tablets 100 mg (dr. reddy's laboratories limited, india) with the reference formulation imitrex® 100 mg tablet (glaxosmithkline, usa)under fed conditions in healthy human adult subjects. 50 healthy, adult, human male subjects were enrolled in the study and 43 subjects are completed the study.
