Based on clinical pharmacokinetic and statistical data obtained from 18 subjects normal adult human subjects under fasting conditions it was concluded that both the formulations were well tolerated following a single dose administration of the investigational product and test formulation was found to be bioequivalent to the reference formulation the 90% confidence intervals for the means of the primary efficacy variables; AUC0-tCmax and AUC0- ? determined.
