Semi-replicate Crossover Bioequivalence Study of Dirithromycin of (Abdi İbrahim İlaç San. Ve Tic. A. Ş., Turkey) in Healthy Subjects Under Fasting Conditions

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of the investigational TEST product with the marketed REFERENCE products by measurement of Plasma concentrations of Erythromycylamine and calculation of the bioequivalence parameters from those measurements followed by ANOVA and 90% confidence interval statistical evaluation.

Detailed Description
-----------------
An open-label, randomized, three -period, two-treatment, three -sequence, semi-replicate crossover bioequivalence study with a washout period of at least 14 days between doses. Healthy, mixed skin Arab & Mediterranean Subjects ages between 18 and 50 years, body-mass index 18.5 to 30.0 kg/m2 inclusive (minimum of 50 kg weight), non-smokers or light smokers (smokers of not more than 10 cigarettes per day).
