Intervention model description: The study is single dose, open-label, randomised, two-period, two-sequence, cross-over, bioavailability and bioequivalence study
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: This study was designed to investigate the bioequivalence of the test and reference products when administered as single oral doses in two consecutive study periods, under fasting conditions.

Detailed description: A single 300 mg dose of the test (T) and of the reference (R) products will be administered to the study subjects in two consecutive periods, according to a randomised 2-sequence cross-over design. A wash-out interval of at least 10 days will elapse between the two administrations. The two investigational products will be administered with 240 mL of still mineral water on day 1 of the two study periods, at 08:00±1 h after an overnight fasting.

To investigate the bioequivalence of the test and reference products when administered as single oral doses in two consecutive study periods, under fasting conditions.
