Phase 1

Completed

Conditions: Healthy

Interventions: Drug: Losartan potassium/Hydrochlorothiazide
Drug: Hyzaar®

Registration Number: NCT01149486

Lead Sponsor: Teva Pharmaceuticals USA

Brief Summary: The object of this study was to compare the relative bioavailability (rate and extent of absorption) of 100/25 mg Losartan potassium/Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets manufactured by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and distributed by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA with that of Hyzaar® 100/25 mg Tablets distributed by Merck \& Co., Inc. following a single oral dose (1 x 100/25 mg tablet) in healthy adult subjects administered under fasting conditions.
