* At the end of the study, the subjects will have an exit evaluation consisting of interim history, global evaluation, and clinical laboratory measurements.
* Adequate blood and urine samples should be obtained within 28 days before beginning of the first period and at the end of the trail for clinical laboratory.
* Clinical laboratory measurements will include the following:
* Hematology: hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count (with differential)
* Clinical Chemistry: creatinine, BUN, glucose, SGOT/ AST, SGPT/ALT, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphate.
* Urine Analysis: pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, occult blood and cells.
* HIV Screen: (Pre-study only)
* Hepatitis-B, C Screen: (Pre-study only)
* Drugs of Abuse Screen: (Pre-study at check -in each dosing period)
* Electrocardiograms of all participating subjects will be recorded before initiation of the study and filed with each subject's case report forms.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with a history of chronic alcohol consumption (during past 2 years), drug addiction, or serious gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic or cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis epilepsy, asthma, (during pat 5 years), diabetes, psychosis or glaucoma will not be eligible for this study.
