Inclusion Criteria
  • Participants who have a body weight within 55-95 kilograms (kg) and body mass index (BMI) within the range 18.0-27.0 kilogram/meter square (kg/m2) (inclusive)
  • Participant has given written informed consent before any study-related activities are carried out - Participants with ethnic origin: Mexicans (example: Caucasians, Indigenous peoples and Mestizos) - No smoking
  • Participants with good physical and mental health status, determined on the basis of the medical history and a physical examination
  • All values for biochemistry and hematology tests of blood and urine within the normal range or showing no clinically relevant deviation as judged by the Investigator
  • Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply
Exclusion Criteria
  • Participants with any surgical or medical condition, including findings in the medical history or in the pre-study assessments, or any other significant disease, that in the opinion of the investigator, constitutes a risk or a contraindication for the participation of the participant in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct or evaluation
  • Participants with history of surgery of the gastrointestinal tract which could influence the gastrointestinal absorption and/or motility according to the Investigator's opinion
  • Participants with allergy: ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active drug substance and/or formulations' ingredients; history of anaphylaxis to drugs or allergic reactions in general, which the Investigator considers may affect the outcome of the trial
  • A subpopulation of participants with asthma may have aspirin-sensitive asthma, which may include chronic rhinosinusitis complicated by nasal polyps; severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm; and/or intolerance to aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Because cross-reactivity between aspirin and other NSAIDs has been report in such aspirin-sensitive patients, Cataflam is contraindicated in patients with this form of aspirin sensitivity
  • Receipt of any prescription or non-prescription medication within 2 weeks before the first study drug administration, including multivitamins and herbal products (example: St John's Wort), including acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), and hormonal contraceptives in females
  • Participants with renal failure or renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance < 80 milliliter per minute [mL/min]) as assessed by using the estimated measure with the Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply
