Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study was conducted as an open label, balanced, randomised, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence, single-dose crossover bioavailability study on fenofibrate formulations comparing fenofibrate 160 mg tablets of Ranbaxy Laboratories with Tricor 160 mg tablets in healthy, adult, human subjects under fasting conditions.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This was an open-label, randomized, single-dose, 2-way crossover, relative bioavailability study performed on 40 healthy adult male subjects.
