Brief summary: This is a open Label, balanced, randomized, single dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period, crossover, oral pivotal bioequivalence study. The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence between Test Product and the corresponding Reference Product under fasting condition in healthy, adult human subjects.

Detailed description: Objective of this pivotal study was to assess the bioequivalence between Test Product: Etodolac Extended Release Tablets USP 600mg of Ipca Laboratories Limited, India and the corresponding Reference Product: Etodolac Extended Release Tablets 600mg of Teva Pharmaceutical Ind. Ltd., USA under fasting condition in healthy, adult, human subjects in a randomized crossover study.
