Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cmax-ss-Maximum concentration over the steady state dosing interval. <br/ ><br>AUC0-Ï?: Area under the blood concentration â?? time curve over the steady state dosing interval.Timepoint: Venous blood samples 4 mL will be withdrawn 5 minutes prior to dosing on Day 12, 13 and 14 in Period I and Day 26, 27 and 28 Period II to confirm steady state condition.
