- Registration Number
- NCT00358371
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
Primary objective:To study the absolute bioavailability, distribution and elimination parameters of flucloxacillin from two oral formulations of flucloxacillin in healthy male and/or female subjects.
- Detailed Description
A mono-center, open, randomized, three-way, twelve-sequence, cross-over study to determine the extent of absorption (absolute bioavailability), rate of absorption and to further characterize distribution and elimination characteristics of a commercial 250 mg and a 500 mg capsule of flucloxacillin each given as a single oral dose vs. one 250 or 500 mg intravenous dose to 24 healthy male and/or female subjects in the fasting state
