Cross-over Study to Prove Bioequivalence Between Two Brands of Cefalexin Capsules

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Anti-Infective Agents
• Interventions: Drug: Cephalexin capsules (Optocef, BAYO5448 ); Drug: Cephalexin capsules (Keflex)

• Registration Number: NCT01073553
• Lead Sponsor: Bayer

Brief Summary

A single dose, two treatments (two cephalexin capsules brands), two sequences, cross-over design was used with a washout of 7 days between the two study periods.
