Brief summary: The objective of this single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-treatment, two-period crossover study was to compare the relative bioavailability of a test formulation of KADIAN (2 x 10 mg) capsules manufactured by Alpharma Inc. to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available reference product, KADIAN (1 x 20 mg)capsules manufactured by Alpharma Branded Products Inc. following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic, oncologic or psychiatric disease or any other condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator would jeopardize the safety of the subject or the validity of the study results.

* Has participated in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to first dose of study medication.
* Has used any over-the-counter (OTC) medication including nutritional supplements, within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
* Has used any prescription medication, except hormonal contraceptive or hormonal replacement therapy, within 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
* Has been treated with any known enzyme altering drugs such as barbiturates, phenothiazines, cimetidine, carbamazepine, etc., within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
* Has smoked or used tobacco products within 60 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
