Brief summary: Main research purpose

To investigate the pharmacokinetics of the test preparation azithromycin capsule and the reference preparation azithromycin capsule (Sumamed®) in Chinese healthy adult subjects by single oral administration in fasting state, and to evaluate the bioequivalence of the two preparations by oral administration in fasting state.

Secondary research purpose

To investigate the safety of the test preparation azithromycin capsule and the reference preparation "Sumamed®" in healthy subjects.

Detailed description: The fasting trial was designed with single-center, open, randomized, single-dose, two-cycle, two-sequence and cross-dosing trials.
