Bioequivalence Study of Cefprozil 250 mg/ 5mL Powder For Oral Suspension Under Fasting Conditions

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy
• Interventions: Drug: CEFPROZIL FOR ORAL SUSPENSION USP 250 mg/ 5 mL

• Registration Number: NCT00778557
• Lead Sponsor: Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited

Brief Summary

The study was conducted as a blinded, randomized, 3-way crossover study to compare the single-dose relative bioavailability of Cefprozil 250 mg/5 mL Oral suspension versus Cefzil TM Powder for Oral Suspension (250 mg/5 mL) following one 5 mL dose under fasting conditions

Detailed Description

The study was designed to compare the rate and extent of absorption of cefprozil from the following products under fasting condition:

1. CEFPROZIL FOR ORAL SUSPENSION USP 250 mg/ 5 mL (Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited, India)

2. Cefzil TM (CEFPROZIL) for oral suspension equivalent to 250mg/5mL anhydrous, cefprozil (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, New Jersey USA)

3. Cefzil TM (CEFPROZIL) for oral suspension equivalent to 250mg/5mL anhydrous, cefprozil (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, New Jersey USA)

The bioequivalence of these formulations was assessed for cefprozil. The study will follow a randomized, 3-way cross over, blinded single dose, fasting design in 36 normal healthy, nonsmoking male and female subjects
