        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Subjects selected for this study will be non-smokers at least 18 years of age.
             Subjects will have a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or less.

          -  Each subject shall be given a general physical examination within 28 days of
             initiation of the study. Such examination includes, but is not limited to, blood
             pressure, general observations, and history.

          -  Each female subject will be given a serum pregnancy test as part of the pre-study
             screening process.

          -  At the end of the study, the subjects will have an exit evaluation consisting of
             interim history, global evaluation, and clinical laboratory measurements.

          -  Adequate blood and urine samples should be obtained within 28 days before beginning of
             the first period and at the end of the trial for clinical laboratory measurements.

          -  Clinical laboratory measurements will include the following.

               -  HEMATOLOGY: hematocrit, hemoglobin, WBC count with differential, RBC count,
                  platelet count

               -  CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: creatinine, BUN, glucose, SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, bilirubin, and
                  alkaline phosphatase

               -  HIV antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody screens

               -  URINE ANALYSIS: pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin,
                  occult blood, and cells

               -  Drugs of Abuse Screen

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Subjects with a significant recent history of chronic alcohol consumption (past 2

             investigator deems the results to not be significant.

          -  Subjects who have a history of allergic responses to the class of drug being tested

          -  All subjects will have urine samples assayed for the presence of drugs of abuse as
             part of the clinical laboratory screening procedures and at each dosing period
             check-in. Subjects found to have urine concentrations of any of the tested drugs will
             not be allowed to participate.

          -  Subjects should not have donated blood and/or plasma for at least thirty (30) days
