Inclusion Criteria

1. Males and/or females between the ages of 19 and 55 years, inclusive.

2. Females of childbearing potential were using one of the following acceptable birth control methods:

   • Intrauterine device (IUD) in place for at least 3 months prior to study;
   • Barrier method (condom or diaphragm) with spermicide for at least 14 days prior to screening through 30 days beyond study completion;
   • Stable hormonal contraceptive for at least 3 months prior to study through 30 days beyond completion of study;

   Abstinence was not an acceptable form of contraception.

   Females of non-childbearing potential were surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation with surgery at least 6 months prior to study, hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy at least 3 months prior to study) or postmenopausal <2 years. An FSH >40 mIU/mL was obtained and in the record.

3. Good general health was determined by medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory measures.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Clinically significant abnormalities detected by medical history, physical, ECG, or clinical laboratory findings (as determined by the Principal Investigator). Any disease or condition which impacted absorption, distribution, metabolism, or elimination of the study drugs.
2. Females who were pregnant or nursing.
3. History of hypersensitivity reaction to the study drugs or related compounds, such as other opioids.
4. Receipt of an investigational drug within 1 month prior to study enrollment.
5. Donation of blood or significant loss of blood within 56 days or plasma within 14 days prior study enrollment.
6. Known or suspected use of illicit drugs (including codeine or hydrocodone, etc.).
7. The use of any medication on a chronic basis with the exception of oral contraceptives for women of childbearing potential. An appropriate drug-free period for prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs provided to washout any especially long half-life drugs.
8. Consumption of alcohol within 48 hours prior to each dosing period.
9. Consumption of grapefruit 14 days prior to dosing and throughout the study.
10. Hemoglobin value < 12 g/dL. If a subject's hemoglobin dropped below 11.0 g/dL the subject was dropped from the study at the Principal Investigator's discretion.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treatment B	Hydrocodone Bitartrate	Hydrocodone Bitartrate of 10 mg in 3 oral doses of a single 3.33 mg tablet in three intervals administered with 240 mL of room temperature water in the fasted state.
Treatment C	Humibid® and Hydrocodone Bitartrate tablet	Hydrocodone Bitartrate 10 mg in 3 oral doses of a single 3.33 mg tablet in three intervals and guaifenesin (Humibid®) 1200 mg ER administered with 240 mL of room temperature water in the fasted state.
Treatment A	Humibid®	Guaifenesin (Humibid®) single extended release 1200 mg tablet administered with 240 mL of room temperature water under fasted conditions.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC(0-t)) of Guaifenesin	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 24, and 26 hours Post dose	Pharmacokinetic Parameter AUC(0-t) The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to time of the last measurable concentration.
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Guaifenesin	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 24, and 26 hours Post dose	Pharmacokinetic Parameter Cmax (Maximum measured plasma concentration)
Apparent Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (Kel) of Guaifenesin	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 24, and 26 hours Post dose	Apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant calculated from a semi-log plot of the plasma concentration versus time curve. The parameter was calculated by linear least-squares regression analysis using the maximum number of points in the terminal log-linear phase.
Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Guaifenesin	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 24, and 26 hours Post dose	Pharmacokinetic Parameter (Tmax) Time of the maximum measured plasma concentration.
Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (T1/2) of Guaifenesin	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 24, and 26 hours Post dose	Apparent first-order terminal elimination half-life was calculated as 0.693/Kel.
Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC(0-inf)) of Guaifenesin	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 24, and 26 hours Post dose	The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity, calculated as AUC(0-t) + Ct/ Kel, where Ct is the last measurable concentration.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Adverse Events(AEs) Experienced by Participants	Upto Day 17	Intensity was determined by the Investigator. For symptomatic AEs the following definitions were applied.; Mild = AE did not limit usual activities; subject may have experienced slight discomfort.; Moderate = AE resulted in some limitation of usual activities; subject may have experienced significant discomfort.; Severe = AE resulted in an inability to carry out usual activities; subject may have experienced intolerable discomfort/ pain.; Relationship to Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) Unlikely = Slight, but remote, chance that AE was caused by IMP. Possible = Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by IMP. Probable = Most likely that AE was caused by IMP.
